For the past 13 years The Branch Group and it’s companies have spent time during June reinforcing an important safety message and 2019 will be no different.
Our theme this year is HOME SAFE: Get back to what matters most. Your days begin at home and when you stay safe at work, they’ll end there, too.
The Corporate Safety Committee will once again sponsor breakfasts, luncheons, and incentives for our employee-owners in recognition of Safety Awareness Month. Follow our Social Media accounts for more information on this important initiative and on our events at Branch Civil, Inc., Branch Builds, Inc., G.J. Hopkins, Inc., L.A. Lacy, Inc., and The Branch Group.
