Collaboration on Construction Safety Recognition Program Begins

The HBA and the Safety Council of the Ozarks are partnering to develop an ongoing branding program for HBA members which will establish basic construction safety standards and recognize those companies who demonstrate their commitment to safety by meeting those standards for a designated period of time. As a safety partner, the SCO also will provide information about construction safety educational opportunities and topics for HBA member publications and programs.

The organization was recognized at the recent HBA Awards Banquet to "kick-off" this partnership effort.)

In October, the Safety Council of the Ozarks hosts its 22nd Annual Safety and Health Conference, October 27 - 31 in Branson at the Convention Center. There will be a number of educational programs pertinent to HBA members including OSHA training, prevening electrical injuries, work zone safety, dangers in trenching and shoring, and workers' compensation insurance.
