OSHA established the Safe + Sound
Campaign, a voluntary effort to support the implementation of
safety and health programs in businesses throughout the United
States. The Campaign includes period activities and events, ranging
from regular email updates to quarterly national Webinars to local
meetings to an annual national stand down, designated to increase
overall employer and employee awareness and understanding of safety
and health programs and promote employer adoption of these
programs. To gain information needed to support this effort, OSHA
is proposing to survey, and in some cases interview, those
participating in the Campaign activities. The goal of the
information collection is to understand and respond to the needs of
participants and publicly highlight outcomes to enhance the
effectiveness of the Campaign.
