Spotlight on How to Keep Your People Safe & Sound Always

Safe + Sound Week (Aug 12-18, 2019) is a nationwide event held each August that recognizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and offers information and ideas on how to keep America's workers safe. With OSHA, VPPPA and the National Safety Council all as major sponsors, the message that safe workplaces are sound businesses should resonate with everyone.

Why is having a health and safety program important? Because safety never stops. Not only do health and safety programs prevent injuries, but they also help your business reduce costs, improve compliance and increase productivity. Rite-Hite fully believes this and always has safety firmly at the top of our list when it comes to the products we produce.
