Bartingale Mechanical will be providing an expanded safety day training to over 70 field employees and subcontractors during OSHA’s National Safety Stand-Down Week which runs May 6-10, 2019. Safety Stand-Down Week is dedicated to preventing falls in the workplace. As the leading cause of fatalities for construction employees, falls represent a dangerous hazard in the workplace.

In order to maintain a safe work environment, it must be part of our everyday routine.” Mark Franson, President.
