“Municipal Safety Day is designed specifically for Michigan's public works personnel,” said Mike Ross, Efficiency Production's national training coordinator. “These are the workers who routinely need to perform duties that cross a spectrum of potentially dangerous situations. Our goal is to educate DPW workers on the entirety of excavation and construction safety.”

New for 2016, there will be many municipal-relevant safety and construction equipment on display from several vendors, including Purity Gas, Municipal Supply Co., Northern Concrete Pipe, Inc., First Due Fire Supply and Capital Equipment.
