Worker safety and health is a top priority for mechanical contractors. MCAA’s Company Safety Programs reviews ten basic components that should be covered in every company safety program, regardless of company size, giving contractors food for thought as they review their own company’s program.

The bulletin covers:
- The components of a corporate safety policy
- The importance of a corporate commitment to safety that has the buy-in of leaders and workers alike
