The Safety Selfie contest ends soon, but there is still time to submit a photo. You could help keep the workplace safe and get a chance to win one of five Kindle Fires.
Participating is easy. Take a selfie that shows you supporting workplace safety. Then email that photo to lossprev@sdcounty.ca.gov. Make sure to include your name and how the selfie relates to safety in your email. Check out a few of the pictures already submitted below.
The deadline is Sept. 30. Winners will be selected at random in October.
