It’s no surprise our policyholders hear us preach about the virtues of safety and why it’s important for them to create a culture of safety at their workplace. But we also realize for them to be successful we need to offer helpful tools that put our words into action.

One of these valuable tools is our free quarterly statewide safety workshops. These half-day trainings are designed to give Montanas’ employers and employees the training and know-how, on a variety of important and timely issues.

And because we want to be an indispensable partner in achieving a safer, healthier and more prosperous Montana, we have opened these trainings to all Montanans, not just our policyholders.  Our goal is to help Montana employers develop their own unique safety programs tailored to their employees and businesses.

Last year our safety service team hosted 35 safety workshops that touched 575 Montana workers. The range of topics include: fraud, slips, trips & falls, young workers safety, emergency action plans, hazard communication program, return to work and more.

Are you ready to start creating your own workplace safety culture? Our next round of workshops will take place in March. If you need more information about our workshops, contact Montana State Fund Safety Services Specialist Kirk Smith at 800-332-6102 ext.
