Become a Steward of Safety

Many are still unaware of the number of workplace deaths that occur every day in the U.S.--12 people die every day at work. Vivid Learning Systems has launched a new initiative to raise awareness of this overlooked problem. The goal of the Stewards of Safety initiative is to encourage safety leadership. Participants are asked to pledge support, share the message socially and commit to spreading safety awareness.

Take the Stewards of Safety Pledge here.

The campaign was developed in collaboration with safety experts and industry veterans familiar with the spectrum of high-risk work. When you take the pledge to become a Steward of Safety, you receive a free kit including downloadable safety awareness assets.

"We are not making enough progress on reducing the number of these tragic events," says Vivid's Liz Bormida. "Without the involvement of the community and commitment from stakeholders, we cannot lower the number of serious injuries and fatalities for workers. If you're an American worker wanting to protect the future of our workforce, take the pledge and become a Steward of Safety."

After you take the pledge, follow the Stewards of Safety Fallen Worker Flipboard, read Vivid's blog, or sign up for the Stewards of Safety e-newsletter, and share articles that move you.
