On Jan. 17, staffers from the Southern Ute Building Maintenance Division, Grounds Maintenance Division and Management Information Services Department joined together to review fall protection tips around the Permanent Fund campus.

Newly hired Property & Facilities Department Director Steve Williams took the initiative as a trained “competent person” to share his insight on fall protection and to address the risks around working at heights of 6 feet and above.

Creating buy-in and obtaining support around building a safety culture and program is essential to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all employees. Keep up the good work and continue to stay safe!
