“Safety Council meetings are an invaluable time for employers in the community to gather and share resources,” said Miranda Jones, GCACC Executive Director & Safety Council Manager. “Not only do our employers learn from educational presentations, but we see a regular exchange of information between our members. Everyone is truly invested in the safety of the workers in the community.”
