The Safe + Sound campaign is a year-round initiative aimed at helping you ensure that your business excels in health and safety. The campaign encourages every workplace to create a culture of safety through three core elements: management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic approach to finding and fixing hazards.
Prioritizing safety and health programs protects your workers from injuries, illnesses, and fatalities AND reduces costs, increases productivity, and improves overall business operations. If you aren’t sure where to begin, Safe + Sound is here to support you. The campaign provides educational opportunities, resources, and activities to help you strengthen your workplace safety and health programs.
Take on a Challenge
Safe + Sound offers quarterly challenges structured around the three core elements of a safety and health program, which help businesses make strides in developing their programs. For example, you can participate in the “Take 3 in 30” challenge, where managers are encouraged to take three actions in 30 days. This could include hosting a brief safety meeting or setting specific goals for the safety and health program. Find this and other challenges on the Safe + Sound Activities webpage. Take them on at any time in any order, then download your virtual coin to recognize your efforts!
Join Us for Safe + Sound Week
Safe + Sound Week is the campaign’s biggest event. Each August, we come together to raise awareness about the importance of workplace safety and health programs, while also recognizing those individuals in your organization who have gone above and beyond to make the workplace safer. This year, Safe + Sound Week will be held from August 11-17, 2025. And, if August 11-17 doesn’t work with your schedule, you can select another week to designate as your business’s Safe + Sound Week!
You can show your commitment to safety and health in several ways during this weeklong event – host private events for your employees, hold free events open to the public, share information and resources on how to keep America’s workers safe, post about your commitment to safety and health on social media, and much more! Safe + Sound makes it easy to participate by providing a suite of resources to plan and promote an event and sharing examples of what previous participants have done for inspiration.
This year’s focus is Emergency Preparedness and Response. Registration is open now and you will receive a certificate of recognition and a virtual challenge coin for participating. For more information, subscribe to OSHA’s newsletter, or if you have questions, contact us at safeandsoundcampaign@dol.gov. We look forward to your participation!
