August Safe + Sound Week Supported by Poultry Industry

07/06/2020

August 10th-16th has been designated Safe + Sound Week. The objective is to create added concern for safety and health in the workplace. The National Chicken Council (NCC), the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association and the National Turkey Federation (NTF) will again partner with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to mark the annual mid-August initiative. USPOULTRY, the NCC and NTF will share information, intensify training and re-educate workers to maintain practices that promote health and prevent accidents.

 

In a joint statement, John Starkey of USPOULTRY, Mike Brown of the NCC and Joel Brandenberger of the NTF commented "our organizations are pleased to continue to serve as Safe + Sound partners and to collaborate with OSHA and the other sponsors on programs and initiatives to help preserve the safety of the U.S. poultry work force”.

 

The Safe + Sound week in 2020 plays out against the challenge of COVID-19 that has required the introduction of appropriate preventive measures.  These include testing with quarantine of infected workers, social distancing, barriers between workstations, enhanced hygiene and cleaning of plants and providing PPE to workers.
