Thank You to Our Conference Participants

by Sadee PistoiaMembership Manager

Women in Safety

I wanted to thank everyone that

stopped by after the conference

for massages, treats and net-

working. This group has come

so far. It has been such a privi-

lege to get to know each one of

you.

Our next event is scheduled for

April 6th at 11:00 a.m. We will be

meeting at the Little America to

listen to Karma Thomson, Vice

President of Tesoro’s Salt Lake

Refinery, speak about “Leading

Change.”

After the presentation, Karma

will have buses ready to take us

on a tour of the Tesoro Refinery.

Don’t wait to sign up- you won’t

want to miss this one! Register

A BIG thanks to those who participated in the Utah Safety Conference and Expo! We appreciate your support of our efforts to make Utah a safer place to live and work.

We want to thank our sponsors for making this year’s conference a success. These companies include: Autoliv Americas, Beacon Energy, BROWZ, Chevron,Dominion Questar, Granite Construction, HollyFrontier, KapStone Paper & Pack-aging, Lisbon Valley Mining Co., OC Tanner, Orbital ATK, R & O Construction, Rio Tinto, Rocky Mountain Power, Rooftop Anchor, Savage Services, Tesoro Refining Company, Wasatch Electric, and Workers Compensation Fund.

We also want to thank our exhibitors who were part of the expo both days. The exhibitor space showcased products and services from more than 50 vendors with many “hands-on” demonstrations.

We hope you enjoyed the breakout sessions each day. These sessions provided a variety of topics to choose from that crossed all aspects of safety.

Our two morning keynote speakers addressed topics on effective communica-tion and lessons learned from being on “Undercover Boss.” The two lunchtime speakers shared the impact that WCF and the Utah Jazz have had on our com-munity, and we saw a sneak peek into the upgrades the Vivant Smart Home Arena will be undertaking at the end of the current season.

We want to express our appreciation to the Utah Safety Council staff and recog-nize them for all their efforts to make this conference a success! They are amaz-ing and we wouldn’t be able to support your safety needs without them.

The feedback from the attendees of the conference has been extremely favor-able and we look forward to hosting more conferences in the future.

Safety Notes

Distracted driving is an epidemic on America’s roadways. In 2015, 3,477 people were killed as a result of distracted driving- that’s up 8.8% from 2014, where 3,179 people were killed and an esti-mated 431,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver. Texting and cell phone use behind the wheel takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your focus off driving – putting yourself and others in danger.

At the Utah Safety Council, our number one priority is keeping you and your family safe. We ask that you no longer tolerate texting or talking on a hand-held phone while operating a com-pany or personal vehicle, or when using a company-issued cell phone while operating a personal vehicle. If you must use your cell phone, please pull over to the side of the road to safely com-plete your call or text.

Ask anyone who has lost a loved one in a crash and they can tell you, one traffic fatality is one too many. We are committed to eliminating this unnecessary risk and strongly believe that no conversation or text is worth the poten-tial danger.

We encourage you to discuss the dangers of distracted driving with your employees, co-workers, family, friends and neighbors. For free resources to share, please visit UTAHSAFETYCOUNCIL.ORG or contact Greg Royall, Traffic Safety Program Manager at 801.746.SAFE (7233) or email groyall@utahsafetycouncil.org.
