Safe + Sound Week is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America's workers safe. This year, Safe + Sound Week will provide resources for businesses on mental health and well-being.

Why participate? Successful safety and health programs can proactively identify and manage workplace hazards before they cause injury or illness, improving sustainability and the bottom line. Participating in Safe + Sound Week can help get a program started, energize an existing one, or provide a chance to recognize safety successes.

All organizations looking for an opportunity to recognize their commitment to safety are welcome to participate. Last year, more than 3,300 businesses helped to raise awareness about workers' health and safety!

Safe + Sound Week is a time to take action and reflect on and recognize the efforts companies have made to improve workplace safety and health throughout the year. OSHA is asking companies to reaffirm their commitment to safety and health by taking the Safe + Sound pledge:

• I pledge to make safety a core workplace value. Everyone has the right to a safe and healthy workplace, and I will work to ensure everyone goes home safe and sound every day. My workplace will be taking action to improve our safety and health program during Safe + Sound Week 2023
