Start With Safety

During the December Start With Safety Webinar, we were able to hear from one of our most engaging Utah
Safety Council Instructors, Mike Marshall. He talked about mining, the history of mining, mining in Utah and we
learned about National Miners Day, a day where we celebrate and honor miners. All industries can learn so much
from mining history and mining safety. If you missed this webinar or want to re-watch (or share) you can still
view it HERE.

We are looking forward to a great Start with Safety lineup for 2022, including presentations on Workplace
Violence, Fleet Management, Workplace First Aid Requirements and much more. For January, we will be going
through your Utah Safety Council Membership Benefits, to ensure members know what they have access to and
how best to use them. Watch the January 2022 Start With Safety HERE. Join us in January and register HERE
