Northwest Tennessee Chapter Members Talk Safety & Health with Dyersburg High School Students

Why did we decide to talk with students?

- High school students need to be exposed to the safety and health disciplines.
- Expected to help with awareness of the Safety and Health field.
- Put a positive spin on Safety and Health.
