Annual Safety, Health & Wellness Day Set, June 29

NIH Safety, Health and Wellness Day will be held on Thursday, June 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the south lawn and patio of Bldg. 10, Bethesda campus. Everyone is welcome. Enjoy the activities and learn about safety, health and wellness opportunities at NIH. 

This popular event—held in person for the first time since 2019—will be presented by the Office of Research Services, Office of Research Facilities, occupational safety and health committee, and the Laboratory Sustainability Group, along with 2023 co-sponsor, the National Institute of Mental Health.

The focus this year is to enhance employee awareness of mental health, wellness, chemical safety, roadway and pedestrian safety and preventing/reducing work-related injuries and illnesses. 

More than 30 table displays will feature a wide variety of health and wellness topics including safety and health promotion exhibits and games, safety seminars, ergonomic and CPR demonstrations, physical fitness activities, nutrition, total worker health and more. 

Mark your calendars and attend this fun and informative event with a coworker. Plan to stay for lunch and purchase menu items prepared by specialty food trucks that will be on site.
