A few months ago, NSC recognized three honorees in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with the 2023 NSC Advocacy in Safety Award. This prestigious award recognizes the impact our partners have had on safety in their communities and serves as a "thank you" for their collaborative efforts to achieve shared #WorkplaceSafety and #RoadwaySafety goals. Now, NSC is proud to have presented the final 2023 NSC Advocacy in Safety Award in Illinois to State Senator Seth Lewis. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gZHNbpuB.

When 39% of employers are saying impairment is causing more injuries, having supervisors trained to recognize and respond to workplace impairment, whether it’s caused by legal or illegal substances, fatigue, stress, mental distress or a combination thereof, is critical to worker health, safety and wellbeing. To address this challenge, NSC is providing supervisors, safety professionals and managers in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania access to its Impairment Recognition and Response Training for Supervisors. Available through the end of 2024, access to this training is provided at no cost to employers in the state as part of the grant from the Commonwealth. #WorkplaceSafety #KeepEachOtherSafe Learn more about the training here: https://lnkd.in/gr2kK2Wi.

NSC is elated that opioid overdose reversal medication will be stocked and training on how to administer it will soon be provided in California workplaces, thanks to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) granting our petition proposing the requirement. Nationally, overdoses account for nearly 1 in 10 worker deaths on the job and have increased by more than 600% since 2011. In 2021, over 18% of workplace fatalities in California were due to an unintentional overdose. #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyForAll NSC has been actively advocating for #naloxone availability and access in all U.S. workplaces - including those in California. NSC firmly believes the inclusion of this opioid overdose reversal medication and training will help the state combat the opioid crisis. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/giQWcbfr.

According to analysis by NSC, 599 lives are estimated to be lost in preventable traffic crashes over #IndependenceDay weekend. Observed this year between 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 3, and 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 7, the July 4 holiday period is one of the most dangerous times of the year on U.S. roadways. Extra caution is critical to staying safe and prioritizing #RoadwaySafety for all. "Data show 40% of fatalities during the July 4 holiday period involve an alcohol-impaired driver, one of the highest percentages among all the major holidays, which makes staying safe on the roads even more crucial," said Mark Chung, Executive Vice President of Roadway Practice at NSC.
