The UP Companies (Power UP Electrical Contractors + Square UP Builders) was one of 37 Missouri businesses awarded safety grants from Missouri Employers Mutual, a Missouri provider of workers compensation insurance. The $7,875 grant funded the purchase of equipment and will help The UP Companies take the next step toward improving workplace safety.
The UP Companies used the grant money to purchase a ReechCraft PowerPole power scaffolding system. The system will help reduce fall hazards by eliminating the need for workers to climb up on a roof to tie off a pole, or remove it. The new scaffolding system also features state-of-the art stabilizing technology to further protect workers.
