Welcome to Kentucky Safe

We are seeking an environment where employees can complete their work day and go home uninjured, as healthy as when they started the work day. To accomplish this, it is essential to increase awareness of the services that the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Division of Education and Training offers, to provide FREE safety and health training to more employers and employees and provide FREE confidential safety and health consultation services to facilities and organizations or groups requesting those services.

KYSAFE Mobile app

 The KYSAFE app is a resource from the Kentucky Labor Cabinet's Division of Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training, also known as KYSAFE.  Use the app to stay abreast of occupational safety and health events and information.  The app contains eight (8) major functional areas, Important Happenings, Contacts, Web Page, Messages, Tool Box Talks, Report a Hazard, Feedback, and Standards.

Many employers with more than 10 employees are required to keep a record of serious work-related injuries and illnesses. This information helps employers, workers and OSHA evaluate the safety of a workplace, understand industry hazards, and implement worker protections to reduce and eliminate hazards -preventing future workplace injuries and illnesses. The records must be maintained at the worksite for at least five years. Each February through April, employers must post a summary of the injuries and illnesses recorded the previous year.
