Training Highlights:

NEW Webinar Series Begins in February (free to members) Building a Safety Culture webinar series:
February 16 Injury Reduction and Best Practices in Safety
June 15 Good Hiring Practices and Employee Safety Orientation

Last fall we surveyed members about adding webinars to our mix of services. One result is a new series of workplace safety webinars, offered in partnership with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. The hourlong sessions will feature our staff and industry and insurance safety experts on topics that can assist you in ensuring the safety of your employees.

The webinars will be held from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. and are free to Minnesota Safety Council members. Register online for the February 16 webinar.

You Asked and We Delivered: NEW Online Course!
Our popular 12-hour Safety Management for Supervisors course will be available online from March 15 - April 4 (registration deadline: March 9). Not your typical online training, it provides numerous components of the classroom experience, including class discussions and individualized progress reports, while maintaining the flexibility of Web-based learning. Developed in the online Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, the course is user-friendly, interactive, and instructor-led! It includes access to course materials, chat rooms, quizzes, surveys and additional resources. Successful completion results in 1.2 CEUs and the Safety Management for Supervisors Certificate.
