National Safety Month Turns 30: Free NSC Resources Available for Field Teams
According to Safety+Health Magazine, June 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of National Safety Month, an observance the National Safety Council launched in 1996 to distribute free safety resources and highlight leading causes of preventable injury and death. This year’s weekly themes include Moving Safety Forward (June 1-6), Staying Safe on the Roads (June 7-13), Promoting Holistic Worker Health (June 14-20), and Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls (June 21-30).
What It Means for Subcontractors
- Free NSC safety posters, pledges, and toolkits are available now, giving safety leads a no-cost way to run a compliant, documented safety campaign through June.
- The final week’s focus on slips, trips and falls is directly relevant to field crews working on construction sites, wellsites, and infrastructure projects, where these hazards rank among the most common causes of injury.
- Taking the NSC SafeAtWork Pledge and tracking participation gives subcontractors a simple, visible way to demonstrate safety commitment to general contractors and clients.
