June marks National Safety Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about preventing injuries and saving lives – both at work and at home. Initiated by the National Safety Council (NSC), this month-long observance reminds us that safety is everyone's responsibility and that small changes in behavior can have a big impact on health and well-being.
At Day & Zimmermann, safety is more than a priority – it’s part of who we are. We take on complex, high-risk projects, and we work in environments where precision and protection go hand in hand. We have a responsibility to our coworkers, our clients, and our communities. We know that our teams are at the heart of everything we do, and we never lose sight of the fact that our people are our greatest asset. Their safety will always be our top priority.
Every year, thousands of preventable injuries and deaths occur in homes, communities, and workplaces. Whether it’s a slip on a wet floor, improper lifting techniques, or distracted driving, many accidents are avoidable with the right knowledge and precautions. National Safety Month serves as a critical reminder that safety starts with awareness and ends with action.
Observing National Safety Month isn't just about ticking boxes – it's about fostering a culture of safety that lasts all year. When people feel safe, they’re empowered to do their best work, enjoy peace of mind at home, and contribute positively to their communities.
At D&Z, we’re proud to lead with a safety-first mindset. It’s part of our culture, reinforced by leadership and embraced by our team members. We believe safety should never be an afterthought – it’s instilled as our most important core value, and it’s factored into every decision we make.
This June, let’s use National Safety Month as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recommit to protecting ourselves and those around us. All of us have the power to make a difference, because when it comes to safety, every action counts. To learn more about National Safety Month, visit the NSC website.
