Efficiency Production Inc. and the Michigan Rural Water Association (MRWA), hosted Municipal Safety Day for Michigan communities’ Departments of Public Works (DPW) and Water Department personnel. Participating at the event were Jack Doheny Company and Southeastern Equipment Co., The fourth annual event attracted 50 participants from 23 Michigan municipal communities.

“Municipal Day is a unique opportunity for public works personnel to ’cross-train’ in several important areas of workplace safety,” said Joe Little, MRWA’s training director. “Plus, they are seeing demonstrations of safety and other equipment that they may not be familiar with or are seeing for the first time.”

The morning session included training in Trench Safety presented by Efficiency Production; and for the first time, Pipeline Maintenance training presented by Jack Doheny. The afternoon session featured Field Training, on:

• Backhoe and Small Excavator Safety and operation, presented by Southeastern Equipment;

• Hydro-Excavation, presented by Jack Doheny; and

• Application of Trench Shielding and Shoring in different excavation conditions, presented by Efficiency Production.

Municipal Safety Day also met requirements for 0.4 MDEQ Continuing Education Credits. Lunch and a raffle also were part of the day’s festivities.
