Monday, June 30, has been proclaimed “Minnesota Safety Council Membership Day” by Governor Pawlenty. The proclamation affirms that the efforts of the Minnesota Safety Council and its members over the past 80 years have significantly helped reduce human suffering and economic losses while making Minnesota a safer place to live.
We encourage member contacts, safety supervisors and/or safety committee members to make use of materials in our Members Only section, linked from http://www.minnesotasafetycouncil.org/mo, which include a printable copy of the proclamation, an article for internal communications, and National Safety Month resources. We thank our members for all of their support and the difference they’re making in their workplaces and communities.
