State officials are encouraging employers to take advantage of free resources to help make their workplaces safer.

According to a release from the Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet, the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Program, also known as KYSAFE, offers free safety and health surveys which help employers pre-emptively identify potential workplace hazards.

Surveys are performed by consultants with KYSAFE. The surveyors “identify hazards such as machine safeguarding, electrical safety, fire prevention and protection, confined space entry, indoor air quality, respiratory protection, hearing protection, and more.” The surveys identify potential workplace hazards that may be subject to enforcement penalties, allowing employers to avoid fines if they correct the issues identified.

The Education and Labor Cabinet says Kentucky employers requested 531 surveys through the program in 2024. These surveys identified 4,927 safety risks that would have exposed more than 96,000 Kentucky workers to potential hazards, saving employers more than $26 million in potential penalties.

Employers may request a free survey or learn more by visiting kysafe.ky.gov or by calling 502-564-3070.
