TEAMWORK CHALLENGE

We’re giving a month’s notice to prepare for the National Safety Month Team Challenge. This year, every location is challenged to achieve 100% participation in Safety training during the month of June.

  • Goal: All employees at the location attend at least one of the following training courses offered (training schedules are posted locally at each division)
  • June Safety Training
  • Safe Start 2025.5 – General Safety awareness and review of Safe Start 2025 concepts
  • How: Be sure to sign the attendance sheet available at the training you attend. Sign-in sheets will be used to determine who attended. If you’re a fully remote employee, you can attend training via Zoom.
  • Reward: If 100% participation is achieved, the division will receive a special lunch of their choice in July (for all shifts). Share your suggestions with your Safety contact and HR Generalist.

 

We’ll announce contest winners the first week of June. We’ll also publish information throughout the month designed to help you Think Safe, Work Safe and Live Safe all year long.
