MSHA Annual Refresher

At George Reed, safety is more than just a priority—it’s a core value. This commitment was once again demonstrated during the company’s Annual Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Refresher Training, where employees gathered to reinforce their knowledge of essential safety protocols and industry regulations.

We would like to thank guest speaker, Ron from All Rigging, for a great presentation.

MSHA, a major agency under the United States Department of Labor, is responsible for enforcing the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended by the MINER Act of 2006. These laws provide the foundation for workplace safety in the mining and construction industries, ensuring that companies like GRI uphold the highest standards to protect workers from potential hazards.

During the refresher training, employees

participated in hands-on exercises and in-depth discussions covering a wide range of safety topics, from hazard recognition to emergency preparedness. This annual event serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of vigilance and proactive safety measures in an ever-evolving work environment.

In addition to the comprehensive training, GRI took another step forward in enhancing workplace safety by providing all hardworking employees with brand-new hard hats. This initiative not only aligns with industry advancements in protective gear but also serves as a proactive measure to minimize the risk of traumatic brain injuries (TBI). By equipping employees with state-of-the-art head protection, GRI reinforces its unwavering dedication to employee well-being and workplace safety.

The Annual MSHA Refresher and the distribution of new hard hats exemplify GRI’s ongoing efforts to foster a culture where safety remains at the forefront of operations. By staying ahead of industry standards and continuously investing in its workforce, George Reed Inc. continues to set the benchmark for excellence in safety and construction.

As we move forward, GRI remains committed to maintaining a safe and productive work environment, ensuring that every employee returns home safely at the end of the day. Here’s to another year of safety, growth, and success!
