October is National Protect Your Hearing Month!
At Riskwise Safety Consulting, we’re joining the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in raising awareness about noise exposure and hearing protection.
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent, but 100% preventable.
Whether on the job, at a concert, or using power tools at home, protecting your hearing should always be part of your safety routine.

Why It Matters
• Exposure to noise above 85 A-weighted decibels (dBA) for extended periods can cause hearing damage.
• Once hearing is lost, it cannot be restored.
• Excessive noise doesn’t just affect hearing, it can lead to fatigue, stress, and reduced alertness, increasing the risk of workplace accidents.

How to Protect Your Hearing
• Wear hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) whenever you’re in loud environments.
• Limit your exposure time and take quiet breaks throughout the day.
• Lower the volume on personal devices and equipment when possible.
• Assess and control workplace noise; use engineering controls, quieter tools, or increase distance from the source.

Our Commitment
At Riskwise Safety Consulting, we help employers and workers create safer, smarter workplaces where hearing protection is part of every safety plan. Learn more at www.riskwise.biz

Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over National Campaign

August 13 – September 1 is the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over national campaign organized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

• Impaired driving begins with just one drink, which affects vision, mental judgment & motor skills.

• In 2023, 12,429 people were killed in alcohol-impaired crashes in the U.S.—that’s one death every 42 minutes.

What can you do:

• Always plan a sober ride home: designate a driver, use rideshare or stay somewhere overnight.
• Recognize fatigue: yawning, blurry vision, lane drifting– don’t drive, pull over, or get rest.
• Encourage safe behavior among friends on holidays.

Every crash is preventable. A little forethought saves lives.

June is National Safety Month!

Every June, National Safety Month reminds us that safety is more than a checklist—it's a culture. From heat stress awareness to equipment inspections, this is the perfect time to evaluate your workplace’s safety practices.

Focus on Preventing Workplace Injuries
Whether it's slips, trips, or falls, small changes can make a big impact.

Safety Tip: Encourage daily safety huddles to identify potential hazards before shifts begin. A 5-minute talk can prevent a 5-week injury.

Need help strengthening your safety program? Our consultants are here to support companies across industries with practical, proven solutions, and custom programs!
