A safe and healthy workforce is good for business. Off-the-job safety and health is the extension of an organization’s on-the-job safety culture. Off-the-job programs educate employees about bringing their safe and healthy workplace practices to their homes and their families.
A growing number of businesses now consider off-the-job safety and health critical to good management of health care costs, productivity, and profits. Off-the-job safety and health programs can help improve well-being as well as save the lives of employees and their families.
Nearly three times as many workers suffer nonfatal injuries off the job as on the job.
An employer’s commitment to safety and health can improve employee job satisfaction, productivity, overall well-being and decrease absenteeism and healthcare costs. Prevent the leading causes of injury, illness and death and promote healthy and safe behaviors with resources from the National Safety Council.
Send the Family Safety & Health magazine directly to your employees’ homes and give them the most current information on safety and health in the home, on the road, in play and in travel.
Use the Family Safety & Health Employer Resource to plan and implement safety and health program that reaches employee beyond the workplace - in their homes and communities.
Our Driving Concern: Employer Traffic Safety Program brings resources to employers to reduce the impact of traffic crashes, on and off the job. The Our Driving Concern website features materials to keep employees and their families safe.
