NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is a unique place to work, with scientists and engineers working alongside finance professionals, documentarians, procurement specialists, and more. Across our six campuses as well as other remote sites, we are home to an amazing workforce contributing to the NASA mission in countless ways.

Regardless of our individual roles, we are collectively bound to the Goddard safety culture pervading every lab, office, hallway, building, and campus across the center. Accordingly, this year’s Safety Awareness Campaign is themed “One Goddard, One Safety Culture.” Whatever your role or location, we are each held to many of the same standards in both our professional and personal capacities.

Some days are more challenging than others, but we’re still obliged to build and foster a community of trust when it comes to safety. I invite you to take the time during this annual campaign to renew your commitment to safety by attending sessions and asking how to improve and augment our safety culture.

The core of the campaign will take place from April 29 to May 1. A select number of sessions will be held from April 22 to 24 and May 6 to 8.

The annual centerwide Safety Stand-down takes place on Tuesday, April 29, at 11 a.m. EDT. During the Stand-down, Russ DeLoach – NASA chief of safety and mission assurance – will deliver the keynote address entitled “Enduring Lessons Learned.”

Thank you for your commitment to the campaign, and thank you for making Goddard a safe place to work.

Chair, 2025 Safety Awareness Campaign
