National Safety Month

June 1 – 30, 2026

Observed every June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road, and in homes.

Background

National Safety Month is observed each June and is led by the National Safety Council (NSC), founded in 1913. Each year focuses on practical themes like hazard recognition, ergonomics, and emergency preparedness.

How to celebrate at work

  • Pick a weekly safety theme and share a short toolbox talk for each.
  • Refresh first-aid kits, AEDs, and emergency exit signage.
  • Invite employees to report near-misses and hazards — then act on them.
  • Download NSC's free National Safety Month materials for your team.
