Spot the Hazards! Activity Winners
In May during Be Well, Be Safe Week, employees were invited to test their workplace safety knowledge with the Spot the Hazards! activity. Employees were asked to identify three safety concerns in each of the staged photos, and also share one idea they had to fix one of the safety concerns.
28 people participated in the activity and 3 winners were randomly selected to receive a $25 Hospitality gift card.
