SAIF celebrates national Safety Month throughout June

To further its objective of improving workplace safety, SAIF is celebrating national Safety Month with a calendar full of activities and events for its employees statewide.

"As a company focused on safety, this is a great opportunity to try to make our workplaces and homes injury free," says SAIF President and CEO Brenda Rocklin.

"I encourage all employers to take advantage of the information on the Employer Guide on saif.com this month, and throughout the year."

Employers can go to the Safety section of the Employer Guide on saif.com to access an abundance of resources and information on workplace safety, including some created by SAIF loss control experts.

The Safety section offers over 80 safety and health guides, safety article tips for preventing common accidents, helpful links to other safety-related organizations, and descriptions of safety programs that SAIF staff can help businesses set up.

During Safety Month this year, SAIF employees will participate in driving safety instruction, defibrillator training, hands-on fire extinguisher use, life-saving measures when someone is choking, ladder safety, and more.

The National Safety Month June 2007 website has more information about safety month and additional ideas about workplace safety.
