We're making plans for our 2010 safety program. Is a calendar of safety observances available?
The National Safety Council's communications department has compiled a list (.pdf file) of safety observances, including Workplace Eye Safety Month, Poison Prevention Week and our own National Safety Month. The calendar includes links to the organizations that sponsor each observance.
The NSC Library is a valuable member benefit.
E-mail the staff with your specific questions.
