A mobile road show hit the streets of Regina Monday, showcasing the latest in safety equipment and technology.

The 48-foot, fully equipped mobile training centre was parked at the Conexus Arts Centre and more than 120 people registered for the day long workshop.

According to 3M safety specialist Brad Young, the event is to keep safety at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

“Everybody that’s attending today, you know they work for their respective company and everyday they’re exposed to risks at their job,” Young said.

“This event is really here to highlight that message of safety.”
