Agencies host event to teach local businesses about safety
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - State and local agencies hosted an event to keep workplaces free of accidents.
Local businesses learned about fall prevention, heat illnesses and how to communicate when facing a hazard.
"It's one of those things that we come to work safe and we want to go home safe… This would definitely make a difference, it will give you the knowledge and understanding of how conduct yourself safely at your work area and at home," said Carlos Marquez, Yuma County safety and security coordinator.
The event was put on by the Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health, Yuma County and the City of Yuma.
All classes and training workshops were free.
