Summer is the perfect time to bring one of our safety professionals on-site to your company to help with all your training needs! Many of the programs listed on our Web site at http://www.mnsafetycouncil.org/courses can be customized and conducted at your organization or training location. Let us know your on-site training needs and we will work with you to secure an agreeable, budget-based strategy to accomplish your goals. In addition, we write safety programs, perform safety audits and conduct ergonomic workstation evaluations. Contact Gina for details at 651-228-7305/800-444-9150; e-mail: hoffman@mnsafetycouncil.org! Are you prepared for a workplace emergency? Emergencies occur every day, jeopardizing lives, property and dollars. Are your procedures in place? If an emergency were to happen in your workplace, would your employees respond appropriately? Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a perfect response, but our Blueprints for Safety Emergency Preparedness training program can help you develop written policies as well as train your employees in their roles, should an emergency occur. On sale now to members for only $269 - that's a savings of 40% OFF the MSRP. For more information or to place an order, call Russ at 651-228-7326/800-444-9150, e-mail: budin@mnsafetycouncil.org.

Bring safety home with Family Safety & Health Did you know that 90% of the deaths and 60% of the disabling injuries suffered by workers last year occurred off the job? How can you motivate employees and their families to make health and safety a part of their lives 24 hours a day, all year long? One part of the solution is to provide them with a "smart" subscription to Family Safety & Health magazine. Family Safety & Health is an inexpensive (as little as $3 per year) way to show your employees that you care about them even when they aren't at work. More than 20,000 companies have already made FS&H an integral part of their safety and wellness programs. For a free price quote or to learn about imprinting your company name and logo on the magazine cover, call Russ at 651-228-7326/800-444-9150; e-mail: budin@mnsafetycouncil.org Complete First Aid/CPR training and resources Since the Minnesota Safety Council introduced First Aid and CPR training programs in 1990, we have trained and prepared more than 50,000 people to deal with emergencies at work and in their homes. We invite you to look at our top notch programs and work with us to make Minnesota a safer place to live. We have the options that meet the needs of your company!
