Safety is not just a response to crisis, but an ongoing commitment to protecting people.
Keeping You Safer At Work
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Safer At Work LA™ launched as a critical initiative to help businesses reopen safely across LA County, providing tailored signage and resources for retail, restaurants/bars, personal care, manufacturing, and essential services.
In partnership with Align’s PPE Unite vital resource distribution, Safer At Work LA™ swiftly adapted to rapidly changing guidelines while earning strong support from businesses and workers across LA County. The campaign initially provided clear, real-time pandemic safety updates but quickly expanded to address broader hazards—from airborne pollutants to overall workplace risks — meeting urgent needs as businesses sought trusted guidance.
Promoting Back To Normal
Safer at Work proactive tools, including vaccination protocols, disaster preparedness, and resource distribution, were widely embraced by hard to reach industries. Small and micro businesses in retail, restaurants, manufacturing, and services leaned on PPE Unite and the Safer At Work LA™ initiative as a cornerstone for workplace safety.
With a bold multi-lingual educational campaign and real resources, Safer At Work LA™ not only helped businesses navigate crises but also set a precedent for how safety efforts can respond decisively to evolving challenges and build community trust.
