Lockout/Tagout
Avoid huge fines and keep everyone safe.
One of the highest citations issued by OSHA is as a result of companies that do not have or do not implement a Lockout/Tagout program. Let us help you create your program and train your affected or authorized personnel. Anyone who has to work around or on something that can store energy (such as a compressed air tank), a machine that has springs, or a heavy load supported by a mechanical device is affected by Lockout/Tagout. By law, anyone operating or working around this equipment must, by law, be trained on Lockout/Tagout.
Additionally, your company must have a written program that they implement. You may have received additional tools from the manufacturer of your equipment, but this is not enough to keep you and your employees safe. You need a written protocol at your site. You need an expert who knows and understands what the law is.
Save your company potentially millions of dollars in expenses and fines by having and implementing a program. We can help.

Hazmat Awareness Training

Allow us to train your crew on hazmat awareness. We offer 30-hour certification held at your location scheduled at your convenience. Training is customized to your location.
GHS Hazmat Recognition
In 2017, Material Safety Data Sheets were slowly phased out. There is now a new system in place called SDS or Safety Data Sheets. This is based on a new recognition system for chemicals in the workplace, which is called the Global Harmony System (GHS). GHS is the international standard for the recognition of hazards dealing with the use of chemicals in the workplace.
Any employee that is required to use chemicals of any type in the workplace must be trained in GHS and trained on the proper way to read these new SDS sheets.
This one-time training is designed for the entire workplace, to provide proper hazmat recognition for all staff employees. Save your company time and money and get your workplace trained in GHS.
