Next week (May 6-12) is North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week. What better time to turn the spotlight on safety in your workplace?
Every year in May, the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) and the Canadian Society of Safety Engineers (CSSE) join together to sponsor a week intended to raise awareness about occupational safety and health and the environment.
The theme of this year’s NAOSH Week is "Safety and Health: A Commitment for Life—Making It Work." Past NAOSH themes have included:
- Mining safety
- Transportation safety
- Youth workplace safety
There will be all kinds of events and activities going on in workplaces across the country next week to celebrate NAOSH Week. In the past, ASSE members have:
- Held fleet safety classes
- Sponsored ergonomic awareness events
- Distributed catastrophe preparedness information
- Distributed free teen worker safety and preventing roadway crash brochures Developed and presented teen worker safety courses
- Helped Habitat for Humanity
- Held a PPE fashion show

Training for Stellar Safety Performance
NAOSH Week or any week, you can always find the safety training you need from BLR, your one-stop safety and health training resource.
For example, our Safety Training Presentations would be a perfect choice for NAOSH Week training. This easy-to-implement training program offers 25 core PowerPoint® safety presentations, each one responsive to either an OSHA training requirement or to common causes of workplace accidents. All are customizable, so you can add your specific hazards or safety policies.
Each lesson also includes completion certificates, sign-in sheets, evaluation forms, and training records. In short, it contains everything you need to motivate, reinforce, retain, and transfer new knowledge—and document that you did so.
Safety Training Presentation topics covered include:
—Bloodborne Pathogens
—Back Safety
—Emergency Action
—Ergonomics
—Fire Prevention
—PPE
—Welding/Cutting/Brazing
—Portable Power Tool Safety
—Scaffolds
—Lockout/Tagout
—Forklift Operator Safety
—Confined Space Safety
—Fall Protection
—Respiratory Protection
—and more!
Of course, training needs change as OSHA introduces new requirements or as new work practices and technologies bring new hazards. To cover this, you receive a new CD every 90 days you’re in the program, each containing five additional or updated topics.
Just as important for those on a budget (and who isn’t these days?), the cost of these presentations works out to under $20 each.
We’ve arranged for Advisor subscribers to get a no-cost, no-obligation look at Safety Training Presentations for 30 days. Feel free to try a few lessons with your own trainees. Please let us know, and we’ll be glad to set it up.
