Safety Council

“Being a member of the Safety Council has provided us with education, tools, contacts and programs related to improving the health and safety of our employees.  Improving the safety of our employees will give us an advantage in a competitive business by reducing our workers’ compensation costs while increasing productivity.”

- Sam, Jenkins, VP, Sweet Manufacturing
 

“Safety is a full-time job. Don't make it a part-time practice.”

- Justin Hayes, Safety Manager, Benjamin Steel Co.

“We need to make personal safety a value in our corporate lives.  Many organizations do see safety as a priority.  Yet, as humans, we know that like life, priorities change with time. That’s why safety and health must become a personal and organizational VALUE.  This needs to be a value that  is believed in from the “top” down.  Values, unlike priorities, do not change.”

- Kimberly Elliott
