During the month of June, VelocityEHS is proud to be the exclusive sponsor of the National Safety Council’s National Safety Month. This year marks its 25th anniversary and to celebrate we’ll be sharing content each week to complement their weekly themes.

VelocityEHS wants to recognize the individuals who go above and beyond to keep you, members of your organization or community healthy and safe by matching each donation up to a total of $25,000! In addition, we’ll be recognizing heroes on the VelocityEHS LinkedIn and Twitter pages through the month of June.
