    Be A WorkSafe Champion

    Montana State Fund is looking for Montana business owners who want to build a strong safety culture at their workplace. Through our free WorkSafe Champions program, Montana employers and their employees are given a solid foundation of knowledge to develop and implement a workplace safety culture.

    Classes will meet in person in March, June, and September from 1pm – 5pm. (See location and dates below). These classes coincide with our statewide quarterly safety workshops in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Glasgow, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Miles City and Missoula.

    You do not need to be a Montana State Fund policyholder to take part.
