Safe + Sound Week / August 10-16, 2026
Hands on the bar. Eyes on the work. Gear that survives the shift.
What the week is for
OSHA holds Safe + Sound Week each August with the National Safety Council, NIOSH, and CPWR. The week recognizes workplaces running real safety and health programs and gives teams a reason to tighten the habits underneath them.
On a tire floor, those habits are ordinary and physical. The pry bar stays controlled. Eye protection stays on. Workers name the hazard, and someone fixes it.
Two ordinary hazards
01 / Hands
Keep control of the bar
A tire bar that shifts can open a knuckle, damage a wheel, or throw the worker off balance. CHAOS Moto grips add a secure, non-slip surface to the Coats and Hunter bars already on the floor.
Keep the line of sight clear
Flying debris, splash, dust, and glare are routine bay-floor hazards. Start with the hazard assessment, then confirm the marking and fit on the specific pair. Z87 style is not proof; the actual frame and lens need the rating.
02 / Eyes
The OSHA framework
Assign ownership, make time, and use the same protection expected from everyone else.
The people doing the work know where the bar slips, what fogs, and what gets quietly ignored.
Fix the hazard, confirm the change, and check again after the new gear has survived a real shift.
Run the bay walk
Which tools slip, pinch, or force an awkward grip?
Where can debris, splash, dust, or glare reach the worker?
If the PPE leaves the body before the task ends, find out why.
Choose an owner and a date. A list without a closeout is just office furniture.
Put it on the floor
Quick answers
It is OSHA's annual nationwide event recognizing workplaces that run safety and health programs and sharing practical ways to improve them.
Management leadership, worker participation, and a systematic process for finding and fixing hazards.
No. Use the hazard assessment and verify the rating on the specific frame and lens. Appearance alone does not establish protection.
