May 4 through 10 is North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week, a commemoration that has occurred since 1997 through an agreement between safety organizations in Canada, the United States and Mexico. The goal is to focus the attention of employers, employees, the general public, and all partners in occupational safety and health on the importance of preventing injury and illness in the workplace, at home and in the community. The slogan is Safety and Health: A Commitment for Life , and this year’s theme is How Safe Are You!
