North American Occupational Safety and Health Week May 6-12

One of the most important aspects of NAOSH Week is awareness. We want every workplace and community to have a hand in making NAOSH Week a success. The goal of NAOSH Week is to focus employers, employees, partners and the public on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home and in the community.

We strive to achieve that goal through:

• raising awareness of the role and contribution of safety and health professionals

• reducing workplace injuries and illness by encouraging new safety and health activities

• generating interest in NAOSH Week This goal seeks to: • improve attitudes towards safety
