June is National Safety Month

Each June, the National Safety Council (NSC) leads the charge in promoting National Safety Month—a powerful reminder of the importance of creating safer environments at work and beyond. With over 5,283 work-related fatalities and 2.5 million nonfatal injuries reported in the private sector last year (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), there’s never been a more important time to take safety seriously.

At Seubert, we’re proud to stand with organizations across the country in prioritizing safety throughout June and year-round. Whether you’re in the field, behind the wheel, or at your desk, safety starts with awareness—and continues through action.

🗓️ Weekly Safety Focus Areas for June 2025

Each week of National Safety Month spotlights a new theme to drive awareness and proactive behavior:

Week 1 (June 1–7): Continuous Improvement

A strong safety culture isn’t built overnight. It’s shaped by ongoing evaluation and evolution. This week, we encourage teams to:

  • Review and update safety procedures
  • Conduct safety audits and risk assessments
  • Embrace safety technology and data to identify trends
  • Offer refreshed safety training with hands-on components

Takeaway: What small improvements can you make today that lead to long-term change?

Week 2 (June 8–14): Employee Engagement

Safety is a team sport. When employees are engaged, they’re more likely to speak up, participate, and stay alert.

  • Host toolbox talks and safety huddles
  • Create interactive, scenario-based training
  • Recognize team members who champion safety on the job

Takeaway: Recognize safety advocates on your team this week—they set the tone for others.

Week 3 (June 15–21): Roadway Safety

With transportation incidents topping workplace fatalities in 2023, this topic hits close to home for many of us.

  • Reinforce pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections
  • Promote defensive driving habits and zero tolerance for distractions
  • Ensure only properly licensed, qualified drivers operate vehicles

Takeaway: Every trip should start and end safely. What’s your pre-drive routine?

Week 4 (June 22–30): Well-being

Workplace safety extends beyond physical risks. Stress and burnout can compromise focus, reaction time, and overall mental health.

  • Share mental health resources and normalize open conversations
  • Encourage regular breaks and work-life balance
  • Promote a culture where speaking up about mental health is met with support

Takeaway: A healthy team is a safer team. What resources could make your day-to-day less stressful?
