Enter in the 2018 MCAA Safety Advantage Awards

Being a company that focuses on safety is a must these days.  It should be the number one priority for all of us- everyone on our payroll deserves to go home at the end of the day without being injured.

With that said, you're doing it.  You're putting "Safety First."  It's resulting in:

• fewer injuries
• cost savings from not dealing with injuries
• keeping your OSHA log in good shape
• reducing your workers' compensation costs down
• preventing OSHA citations
• helping attract and keep more employees through increased company moral

Here's one more thing you can benefit from- the MCAA Safety Advantage Awards.  These awards are based on your company's OSHA Incident Rate.  Entries are due by June 30, 2018.  The top two companies with more than 100,000 hours worked by all employees and the top two companies with more than 100,000 hours worked by all employees will be awarded at the 2018 MCAA Midyear Meeting in Austin, TX.  www.masoncontractors.org/midyear/

Don't miss out on a chance to show off the safety of your company.  This is a way to promote what you believe to be the top priority- safety.  Simply go to www.masoncontractors.org/safety/awards/ to enter.  Entry is free to MCAA Members.
