National Safety Month: A Time to Prioritize Protection at Work and at Home

June is National Safety Month, a great reminder that safety is not just something to think about at work. It is part of every moment, whether you are on the job, driving your car, cooking in the kitchen, or spending time with your family.

At Apollo Safety, protecting workers and workplaces is what we do every day. But this month especially, we want to encourage everyone to take a wider view of safety. It is not only about the right gas detection equipment on the job site — it is also about the small steps that can protect you, your team, and your loved ones at home.

Workplace Safety Matters

For companies working with gas detection equipment, regular maintenance and calibration is essential. Meters that are not properly serviced can give false readings or fail when you need them most. It only takes one malfunction to put workers at serious risk. National Safety Month is a perfect time to review your gas detection program. Are your meters being calibrated on schedule? Are older units due for replacement? Are new team members properly trained on how to use and respond to alarms?

A little preparation goes a long way toward preventing costly and dangerous incidents.

Home and Family Safety Reminders

National Safety Month is also about keeping your home safe. Here are some simple but often overlooked ways to protect your family:

• Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure they are working and change the batteries if you have not done so in the past six months.
• Review your fire escape plan. Does everyone in the house know how to get out in case of a fire?
• Inspect cords and outlets. Frayed wires and overloaded outlets are one of the leading causes of house fires.
• Keep a first aid kit stocked and ready. Bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, and other basics should be easy to find in an emergency.
• Store chemicals and cleaners safely. Keep hazardous materials out of reach of children and pets.
• Practice safe driving. No phone call or text is worth risking a crash. Stay alert and drive responsibly.

These small steps take very little time but can make all the difference in a crisis.
