Focus on Safety - June is National Safety Month

Focus on Safety - June is National Safety Month
06.16.2017

Every year, thousands of people die while doing their jobs.[1] According to the National Safety Council, all of these injuries could have been prevented.

During the summer months, heat-related illnesses are a particular concern and, if not detected and treated early, can be life-threatening. If you have workers who are exposed to high temperatures or strenuous activities, we offer tips for preventing and spotting heat-related illnesses.

National Safety Month is also a good time to remind all organizations of the importance of having – and enforcing – a comprehensive safety program and policies. These should encompass general safety, proper use of tools and machinery, protective gear, fire safety and much more.

If you need additional assistance, Baker Group’s safety experts offer a broad range of safety consulting and training services. To learn more, please call us at 855.262.4000.
