Safety Tip Thursday - National Preparedness Month - Week 1

It’s National Preparedness Month!

For each Thursday during the month of September, we will hold employee challenges with prize drawings. These challenges will help improve employee and community preparedness. The weekly giveaways will be a Bronze Level Safety Incentive. Winners will be announced on the following Tuesday. Any employee who completes all four challenges will be entered to win the Grand Prize of a Gold Level Safety Incentive (if you miss one week, you CAN catch up).
