UAC MAGAZINE | SPRING 2019

Your busy spring is just about to take off.

With more work comes more safety concerns. As a business-level UAC member, did you know that you have ready-to-go safety training available to you through UAC's Safety School? Sponsored by Snellings-Walters Insurance Agency, Safety School makes it easier to keep your employees - and your company - safe.

Each Safety School topic includes a trainer document, which guides the instructor through the training session, and a slide presentation to show your employees. All of this is available in both English and Spanish. Also included is an attendance sheet so you have a record of who received the training and when. Here are just some of the topics available to you:

Hearing protection

Pruning safety

OBJECTIVE: To know the effect of noise on hearing and to practice proper protection against unsafe noise levels.

OBJECTIVE: To help workers recognize, prepare for, and prevent hazards common to pruning.

Hazard communication

Silicosis safety

OBJECTIVE: To inform employees about the chemical hazards they face in the workplace, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and labeling requirements.

OBJECTIVE: To build knowledge on silicosis by defining it, explaining the dangers associated with it, and identifying ways to reduce exposure.
