Puget Sound Area Safety Summit
The Safety Summit is dedicated to forming a networked alliance of government, management, and labor to develop methods and solutions for continuous improvement of workplace safety, with the goal of reducing workplace injuries and accidents to zero. Through the Safety Summit, we place an additional focus on increasing educational opportunities and safety awareness and improving safety practices throughout the state.
Monthly Safety Summit meetings, held at the Aerospace Machinist's Hall the second Wednesday of each month from 9am-12pm, provide a forum for industry professionals to share information, collaborate as a team in our commitment to safety excellence, and to seek solutions to common problems. Safety Summit meetings require no pre-registration and are provided free of charge.
