Sept. 23, 2022 | 1:06
From August 15-21, the Department of the Air Force participated in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's National Safe + Sound campaign to promote workplace safety. Units and personnel were encouraged to participate in the Air Force Safety Center's "Before and After" photo challenge where Airmen and Guardians could submit photos exhibiting how they made their workplace's safe and sound. Besides the photo challenge Airmen and Guardians could participate by planning and promoting safety activities for their organizations.

Recently, Major General Jeannie Leavitt, the Department of the Air Force chief of safety and commander, Air Force Safety Center, gave a shout-out in recognition of the top three submissions in this year's challenge. Leavitt, thanked them for what they do to keep safety in the forefront and their efforts in keeping the Air Force and Space Force world renowned.

Safety is everyone's responsibility, use sound risk management on and off duty.
