June is National Safety Month, making it the perfect time to pause and take stock of your workplace safety measures. Whether you work in an office, warehouse, clinic, or any other environment, staying proactive about safety can make a big difference in preventing accidents and being prepared for emergencies.

Quick Safety Questions to Ask Yourself:

• Are there wobbly chairs in the breakroom or office that need fixing or replacing?

• Is the stepladder in good condition, or is it due for an upgrade?

• Floor mats need replacing?

• When was the last time you checked the first aid kit? Do you have a variety of bandages and supplies?

• Is there a defibrillator (AED) on-site, and is it easily accessible and fully charged?

• What about an eyewash station? Is it clearly marked and functional?

These might seem like small details, but taking the time to address them now can help prevent bigger problems later.

Why It Matters

Creating a culture of safety doesn’t just protect your team — it also boosts confidence, improves efficiency, and shows your commitment to employee well-being. Regular safety checks are one of the easiest ways to ensure you're ready for whatever may come.

So take a walk around your workspace this week. Ask questions, check your supplies, and encourage others to do the same.

Let’s make safety a shared responsibility. Stay safe — this month and every month!
