"We bring SCATS consultants to our location regularly to help us identify areas for improvement, which has helped us strengthen our safety culture."
Working with SCATS has enabled the Nugget's team to make measurable improvements to employee safety. In its safety culture improvement efforts, the organization has implemented employee-led safety committees and the risk and safety team leaders conduct bi-weekly safety walk-throughs around the location.
The Nugget Casino Resort joins a committed group of organizations that prioritize employee health and safety. Recognition is granted for using a range of the no-cost services from SCATS such as safety consultations, training courses, enrollment in the Safety and Health Practitioner Program and more.

"The Safe Partner Award recognizes the company's excellence and positions them as leaders in the hospitality and gaming industry."
SCATS provides employers with confidential hazard identification, program development, implementation assistance and training. Employers who implement effective safety programs and have a days-away restricted transfer rate below the national average for their industry may be recognized by SCATS.
