About the Committee

The Safety Committee was formed with the establishment of SWANA’s chapter Safety Ambassador position. This committee engages our membership on new levels by serving as a resource for members to seek out safety and training information. Collaboration of this committee with membership is an automatic occurrence at our annual spring and fall conference. The committee coordinated its first-ever heavy equipment operator training for our members. We will continue to work on this training and making it better over the course of the next year.

We roll out safety training and policy and share documents as highlighted below.
