On July 14, 2006, Mid-State Communications held its second annual Safety Day. All non-emergency operations were shut down and the work day was dedicated to safety seminars, discussions and equipment inspections.

This special day, in addition to our weekly safety meetings, pre-climb safety meetings, safety manual and other safety programs reinforce our commitment to safety each and every day.

Our first safety day held last year in July and was such a success we decided to make it an annual event.

Seminars included this year:

Safety Inspections

Although safety equipment is routinely inspected by supervisors, this mass inspection of all safety related equipment in front of everyone reinforces the focus and necessity on the the routine inspections. Just some of the items inspected were climbing harnesses, rescue bags, ropes, slings, blocks, hooks, fire extinguishers, hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, first aid kits and RF personal monitors.
