When hospitality operators practice safety in the workplace, everyone wins! Pinnacol Assurance, in partnership with the CRA and Crest Restaurant Insurance, has created the CRA Safety Group Plan to emphasize the importance of effective safety culture within a restaurant.
Members of the CRA Safety Group Plan are required to participate in two trainings each year in order to be eligible for a dividend.
