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.
