June is National Safety Month. Led by the National Safety Council, this year's focus is on the leading causes of preventable injuries and death in the workplace. Preventable injuries are the third leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 227,000 lives lost in 2022. Sixty-three million people sought medical attention for a work-related injuries in 2022. To combat these numbers and encourage safe work behaviors, each week of June focuses on a specific safety topic:

·  Week 1: Safety engagement,

·  Week 2: Roadway safety,

·  Week 3: Risk reduction, and

·  Week 4: Slips, trips, and falls.
