LEADERSHIP
BEGINS WITH
WORKPLACE
SAFETY
The greatest expression of leadership in any
organization is to ensure the safety of the workforce.
If you are one of MEMIC's 18,000 Maine policyholders,
contact your loss control provider for safety training
assistance. If you want to be a workers' compensation
policyholder, contact your independent agent.
