Summer Safety


Safety is a top priority for fabricators, and our August Roundtable Recap focused on six key points to help members create and sustain a strong safety program.

 




1. Safety is non-negotiable! 

2. Always make time for safety training. 

3. Have a safety plan in place, make sure that everyone knows that plan. And understands it. 

4. Get your insurance company to  do a safety walk through your shop. 

5. Communicate safety issues, for repair. 

6. Safety is protection for both employees, and employers

Construction firms can fight OSHA violations that stem from employee misconduct.

What happens when a company invests the proper resources into training its employees on safety rules and regulations, but the employee refuses to follow procedures?
