Every June, National Safety Month—an initiative led by the National Safety Council (NSC)—shines a spotlight on preventing injuries and saving lives in the workplace, on the road, and throughout our communities. For contractors working in construction zones and the utility sector, safety isn’t just a best practice—it’s essential.
In 2025, National Safety Month emphasizes four key weekly themes, each dedicated to a critical aspect of safety:
Week 1 (June 1–7): Continuous Improvement
This week encourages businesses to consistently review and strengthen their safety procedures. For utility crews and construction sites, that means identifying potential hazards in evolving work environments, adopting new technologies, and updating jobsite protocols. Continuous improvement builds a culture where safety keeps pace with change.
Week 2 (June 8–14): Employee Engagement
Engaging your team in safety initiatives makes everyone more accountable and aware. During this week, focus on encouraging workers to speak up about hazards, participate in toolbox talks, and get involved in shaping jobsite safety policies. When employees are part of the conversation, safer outcomes follow.
Week 3 (June 15–21): Roadway Safety
Contractors spend a lot of time on the road—traveling between job sites, transporting equipment, or working near active traffic. This week highlights the importance of safe driving habits, avoiding distractions behind the wheel, and ensuring work zones are properly marked to protect crews and drivers alike.
Week 4 (June 22–30): Wellbeing
Safety goes beyond hard hats and harnesses. Supporting the overall wellbeing of your team—including mental health, stress management, and work-life balance—leads to a more alert, focused, and resilient workforce. Prioritize breaks, encourage open communication, and provide access to resources that support both physical and mental health.
