What do your employees need to know right now?

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:
