"Prevention through education"
Federal,
state, and local laws and regulations require or recommend specific types of
training for workers in order to ensure a safe work environment. The health
and safety of the workers and the public are an integral part of most
organizations, particularly where workers are handling or working near
chemicals, equipment, and in hazardous conditions.
Our approach to prevention through education results in regulatory
compliance, improved facility operations, loss control, and enhanced
awareness to safety, health, and the environment.
IHS

environmental training courses for workers, consultants, supervisors,
technicians, building managers, building maintenance personnel and public.
