Each June, National Safety Month encourages organizations across the country to take a deeper look at how they protect their people. Led by the National Safety Council (NSC), this annual campaign focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, at home, and on the road.

At Pearson Safety Solutions, workplace safety isn’t just a one-time training—it’s a mindset. We believe this month is the perfect time to pause, assess, and recommit to building safer environments across every industry we serve.

Below is a breakdown of each weekly theme and how your team can take action.

Week 1 (June 1–7): Continuous Improvement

Safety is not a box to check—it’s a living, evolving process. This week is all about reviewing current safety practices and identifying opportunities for improvement. Whether it’s outdated procedures, compliance gaps, or underutilized training, every site has room to grow.

How Pearson Can Help:

  • Conduct a safety audit to evaluate program effectiveness

  • Use our LinkSuite platform, which integrates onboarding, training, and contractor compliance into one user-friendly application.

  • Offer refresher in-person training courses based on current OSHA updates

Quick Tip: Involve team leads in reviewing site-specific safety plans. Their on-the-ground perspective is key to identifying practical adjustments.

 

Week 2 (June 8–14): Employee Engagement

A strong safety culture starts with empowered employees. This week focuses on giving every worker a voice in safety decisions—from hazard identification to safety committee participation.

How To Encourage Engagement Within Your Team:

  • Lead hands-on training that invites active participation and Q&A

  • Provide toolbox talk templates that encourage dialogue, not just directives

  • Offer recognition programs tied to proactive safety behavior

Quick Tip: Host a safety stand-down or toolbox talk where team members share recent “near miss” stories and lessons learned. Peer insight builds stronger buy-in.

 

Week 3 (June 15–21): Roadway Safety

Whether your workforce operates on construction sites, drives company vehicles, or manages delivery routes, roadway safety is non-negotiable. Distracted driving, fatigue, and poor vehicle maintenance continue to rank among the top causes of preventable workplace deaths.

How Pearson Can Help:

  • Offer defensive driving and DOT compliance training

  • Help you develop a vehicle safety policy tailored to your fleet and job types

  • Support site teams with signage, flagger training, and traffic control planning

Quick Tip: Use the NSC’s Safe Driving Toolkit or similar resources to start a discussion with field staff.

 

Week 4 (June 22–30): Wellbeing

True workplace safety goes beyond physical hazards. This week brings attention to mental health, fatigue management, and stress-related risks that can silently impact performance and safety outcomes.

How to Encourage Workplace Wellbeing:

  • Partner with leadership teams to incorporate wellbeing into safety planning

  • Provide fatigue awareness and stress management training

  • Encourage holistic approaches to scheduling, rest breaks, and workload distribution

Quick Tip: Supervisors can look out for signs of fatigue or stress—like irritability, distraction, or slowed reaction times—and check in one-on-one when needed. Providing easy access to resources like an EAP or sharing a quick safety moment focused on mental health once a week can make a difference.
