Safety Fest of the Great Northwest Pocatello
2023 will be our 14th Year!
Safety Fest of the Great Northwest Pocatello is an annual training event that offers FREE safety and health training courses to workers, supervisors, and managers of all levels. We offer this benefit to the community to provide safety and health training in an effort to help reduce fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. We focus on keeping this training free so that local small businesses with minimal or non-existent training budgets never have to suffer when it comes to safety training.
