June is National Safety Month—a reminder that strong safety cultures protect people, organizations, and communities.

As a public entity pool, we know there is strength in pooling resources, knowledge, and experience. By working together on safety and risk management, members can reduce claims, lower costs, and create safer workplaces for everyone.

This month, we encourage all members to take time to review policies, refresh training, and continue building a culture where safety comes first.

On average, about 10 people die from drowning every day in the U.S. Most incidents involving children happen at home, and for kids age 1-4, drowning is the leading cause of death.
