What’s New in EH&S

The new Safe Lifting and Material Handling training is now available in MyCareer@PCC. This training was developed to promote safe lifting techniques and material handling best practices in an effort to reduce the number of incidents from lifting and material handling, one of PCC’s leading causes of incidents.
