June is National Safety Month

June is National Safety Month with a focus on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road, and in homes and communities. With the U.S. seeing the highest number of workplace deaths since 2007 – 5,333 fatal workplace injuries in 2019 – this observance is more important than ever.
