Safety Series, Part 7: SAFETY IN NUMBERS - Access to Safety Training Is a Benefit of Belonging to Trade Associations

摘要

Whether you are the owner of a large company with a team of 100 or a family-run operation with just a few employees, the thought of conducting safety training can be daunting. We all know that establishing safety procedures is important, but where do you start? According to John Nearon, Director of Operations of Indianapolis-based Exterior Wood Restoration, there is no need to feel overwhelmed about creating a safety-centric workplace. He firmly believes that becoming an active member of one (or more) of several industry-specific trade associations is the best place to start. As the volunteer president of the Power Washers of North America (PWNA), Nearon has experienced first-hand the amazing benefits of belonging. Memberships, he says, can help both individuals and companies develop safety programs to protect employees, equipment, and the environment.
