Southern Contracting's Safety Stand Downs

 

Southern Contracting Company holds an annual Safety Stand Down where our yard is transformed into a giant classroom outfitted with various types of equipment and training. Southern employees attend classes, demonstrations and practice hands on safety techniques. Southern Contracting Company feels safety comes first and is committed to each of our employees making it home safely after each shift every day of the week. The way we achieve a safe work place is by periodically refreshing old knowledge and acquiring new knowledge with quality training with the most up-to-date safety practices and addressing the latest workplace issues. Our typical training classes include:

 

• Confined Space Safety Awareness
• Equipment Safety Awareness

• Pole Top Rescue
• Lock Out Tag Out Safety Awareness
• CPR/FIRST Aid Certification

• Vender booths with various safety products on the market.

 

Over 100 employees participate in expanding their knowledge and skills. Our employees don't just learn important information, they also enjoyed the learning experience and look forward to our Safety Stand Down each year.

 

Each year Southern Contracting's vendors, suppliers and insurance companies generously donate great prizes for our drawing at our Safety Stand Down. The prize drawing is always the highlight of the day for the employees.
