Safety Resources for SG Managers

Safety group managers can use NYSIF's safety resources compiled specifically for safety groups. Whether it's basic safety materials, safety posters or checklists, these safety resources can be downloaded and distributed to workers as safety reminders during safety meetings, safety training sessions and toolbox meetings. Some of the resources may be featured as monthly safety topics and copies attached to employee paychecks.

Each industry/topic below includes several safety resources that detail the importance of promoting a safe work environment and safe work practices.
