The WV Safety Alliance has received additional funds to provide free safety services for companies throughout West Virginia.

Examples of available services include facility safety inspections, training, air or noise monitoring and written safety programs.

Professionals from WVU Safety and Health Extension will provide the free services.

The services are available to WV Safety Alliance members. Membership is free for construction companies and general industry in West Virginia.

The WV Safety Alliance was formed in 2008 to bring together companies to discuss and exchange ideas and to pool resources to improve workplace safety.

The Alliance was made possible through a generous donation from Chandler Swope of Swope Construction Co. in Bluefield, W.Va.

For more information concerning the free safety services or to join the WV Safety Alliance, please contact Ryan Lewis at rlewis6@mail.wvu.edu or call 800-626-4748.
