Safety Training for Every Employee Hired
Each new field employee is required to have his or her OSHA 10 training completed as a condition of employment.    They are also required to periodically take an OHSA "4-hour refresher" course to keep their safety skills and awareness up to date.  Every employee who is authorized to drive a company vehicle is required to have taken a Defensive Driver Training course as a condition of employment.  Further, all new employees attend a full day of company orientation. This orientation is used to explain all of the unique facets of our businesses and includes an in depth two-hour segment on our basic safety, health, and environmental rules and procedures and how they apply to our employees, our worksites, our office, and our customers.  We communicate J.
