Safety meeting outlines added to members area of MIA website

The Marble Institute of America has added free safety meeting outlines to its ever expanding list of exclusive content in the Members’ area of its website.  The safety meeting outlines or toolbox talks (as they are commonly referred to) provide everything a stone fabricator or distributor would need to conduct safety meetings at their facility. Each safety meeting contains an executive summary, an accident summary relating to the topic at hand, an outline for the meeting itself and a sign-in sheet.

MIA Industry Research & Information Manager, Mike Loflin, said, “It is our goal to encourage every MIA member company to conduct these monthly meetings. By providing every employee of every MIA member access to these valuable tools, companies will have no excuse for failing to educate their employees on safety in the workplace.” Loflin added, “All of the safety information is the cumulative work of our Safety Committee. The Safety Committee is a highly dedicated group of volunteers from the distributor community who identified a serious need for safety resources within the stone industry. Over the past several years they have delivered the goods and continue to bring new content to their fellow members each month.
