Safety starts with preparation.

Recently, members of our Myrtle Grove Facility team successfully completed Fall Protection Training, reinforcing the knowledge and skills needed to work safely at height and recognize potential hazards before they become incidents.

Training like this is an important part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring every team member returns home safely at the end of the day. We appreciate the dedication these team members continue to show toward maintaining a safe and productive workplace.
