June was National Safety Month, but we at Lead Staffing are committed year round to proving our employees a safe working environment

The National Safety Council (NSC), Lead Staffing and thousands of organizations across the country work to raise awareness of what it takes to Keep Each Other Safe. Observed annually in June, National Safety Month focuses on reducing leading causes of injury and death at work, on the road and in our homes and communities.

 

The NSC is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to save lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy.
