Participation is a great way to kick off the busy summer season, as the Stand Down allows you to demonstrate your commitment to the safety and well-being of your workforce. Each year the CAGC, in conjunction with the Safety Committee, creates and provides participating companies with an easy-to-implement curriculum covering the year's safety topic, and member companies cease work for approximately 30 minutes to give a training on that topic. This year's topic is worker self-empowerment regarding safety. Please register your commitment to participate via this link and indicate the person responsible for overall coordination (or forward this email to your safety director to complete). We will follow up with that individual to ensure a seamless and successful Stand Down Week.
