National Safety Council

June is National Safety Month. On this, the 25th anniversary of the observance, the COVID-19 pandemic remains front and center of the discussion about how to keep workers safe.

As with all workplace safety and health efforts, staying safe in the future world of work will be the combined effort of employers taking the right steps to reduce risk and employees doing their part to look out for themselves and each other.

The “blue line” is defined as the path workers take to get their work done. The National Safety Council adds: “Blue line reviews are field observations of work by leaders with the goal of better understanding how work is actually performed.”
