Heart Health – February 2026

Your heart works 24/7 — and in physically demanding jobs, it works even harder. Strenuous labor, extreme temperatures, dehydration, stress, and long shifts can all increase strain on the heart.

Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., but many risk factors are preventable and manageable.

Taking care of your heart isn’t just personal — it’s a workplace safety issue.

Mental Health Safety – January 2026

Winter can be a challenging time for many people. Shorter days, colder weather, and the pressures of work, health, and family life can all take a toll on our mental and emotional well-being. Just like physical safety, mental health is an important part of staying healthy, focused, and supported — both at work and at home.

It’s okay to not feel okay. What matters most is knowing when to reach out and where to find help.

Carbon Monoxide – Protecting Lives at Work and Home

Carbon monoxide (CO) is often called the “silent killer” for a reason—it’s an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly when inhaled in high concentrations. Whether you’re at work or relaxing at home, understanding the risks and taking preventive measures is essential for your safety and the safety of those around you.

Holiday Safety

The holiday season — from late November through mid-January — is a time for family, fun, and celebration. But with the extra travel, decorating, cooking, and festivities, it’s also a time when safety risks increase. A little awareness and preparation can help ensure your season stays merry, bright, and injury-free.

Cold & Flu Season – December 2025

Flu season is here, and one of the best ways we can protect ourselves and each other is by practicing good hygiene and healthy habits at work and at home. Germs spread easily through shared tools, equipment, door handles, and breakroom surfaces—but simple actions can greatly reduce the risk. 

Back to School – Drive Smart, Stay Safe

As summer winds down, August marks the return of school buses, student drivers, crosswalks filled with kids, and increased morning traffic. Whether you’re driving a company vehicle, commuting to work, or just running errands, back-to-school season brings unique safety challenges.

Preventing Falls – Safety

Falls are one of the leading causes of workplace injuries—and the good news is, they’re also one of the most preventable. Whether you’re on a ladder, scaffold, platform, or even just walking across the shop floor, the right habits and precautions can make all the difference.

Substance Abuse Awareness at Work

October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month—an important reminder that staying alert, healthy, and substance-free keeps us safe at work. Substance abuse not only affects personal health, but it also creates risks for coworkers, equipment, and the entire workplace.

Electrical Safety

Electrical safety is everyone’s responsibility. Each year, countless workplace injuries are caused by electrical hazards—many of them preventable. This month, we’re highlighting the importance of awareness, training, and proactive safety practices to reduce the risk of electrical accidents on the job.

Summer Safety Tips

Summer is here, and while longer days and warm weather are welcome, the season also brings unique safety challenges both on and off the job. Whether you’re working outdoors or just spending more time in the sun, taking extra precautions during the summer months can help prevent accidents, illnesses, and injuries.

Vehicle Theft Prevention Month
