Keith Lear, chief, DAF Occupational Safety, and SMSgt Brian Miles, Superintendent, DAF Occupational Safety, Air Force Safety Center introduce the Safe + Sound Week campaign. The campaign highlights OSHA's challenges to get everyone involved in finding and fixing hazards before they cause harm.
Since 2012, the Department of the Air Force has partnered with OSHA in the Safe + Sound week campaign. This partnership encourages members to maintain a culture where safety is an operational priority that directly supports mission readiness. The use of the Safe + Sound campaign elements in the workplace help prevent injuries that take personnel out of the fight and ensure safety programs and processes are maintained and ready for every mission.
Let’s cut the noise. This July 4th, as we celebrate 250 years of American freedom, remember that our combat readiness doesn't stop at the base gate. Freedom isn't free, and our nation's defense rests on each one of you being ready for the fight. We can't afford to lose a single Airman or Guardian to a preventable mistake, especially during a time of celebration.
Airmen, Guardians and civilians are the first line of defense in preventing falls. By taking time to discuss fall prevention, identify hazards, inspect protective gear, and evaluate each program to ensure risk management concepts are in place, we can all create a safer workplace free of slips, trips and falls.
