McConnellsburg, PA (July 9, 2024) — JLG Industries, Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation business [NYSE:OSK] and a leading global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has released its new whitepaper 10 Tips for Creating a Safety-Focused Work Culture that can help contractors implement strategies and actions create a safety-first culture on their job sites. Topics addressed in the paper include storm safety, trip hazards, lone workers, hydration, hearing protection, ergonomics, mental health, heat, PPE and wearables.
