Safety Month 2026

Overview

The safety of our staff and students is our top priority. 

In line with Vietnam’s Month of Action on Occupational Safety and Health, the People Safety & Wellbeing team presents Safety Month 2026 - a month-long initiative this May to strengthen safety awareness and everyday practices under the theme: ‘Safety starts with you’. 

Why Safety Month

Expanding from a single Safety Day, Safety Month offers a series of interactive activities, training sessions, and hands-on experiences designed to make safety more engaging, practical, and relevant to daily life.

Through this program, we aim to:

  • Reinforce that safety is a daily responsibility, not a one-time event
  • Empower every individual to take ownership - Safety starts with you
  • Make safety interactive, practical, and rewarding
