Safety Library

Countless insurance industry surveys over the past two decades have identified employee actions as the source of 80% of all workplace accidents. The MHRUG is responding to the need for increased formal safety training that can be easily implemented at any location.

The MHRUG Safety Video Library has been established to identify and procure short safety videos that address the risks that are most prevalent in every operation. These videos are 4 minutes to 14 minutes long. You may "borrow" any of the five listed below from the MHRUG. Submit any inquiries to Dan Simons or you can call 1-888-981-4440.
