Safety and Craft Training
Every employer has to conduct safety training. We’re no different. What sets us apart as a service and engineering company is that we have a wider range of safety classes than a usual company might have. Documenting and keeping up with expiration dates, following guidance and compliance rules and coordinating employees with customers is where using certain programs makes good business sense. We’ve partnered with some of the industry’s finest data bases and training programs to document training and we established our own Department of Labor approved teaching program to be able to teach parts of our curricula not otherwise available to us.
We’ve lowered our exposure, liability and risks tremendously by installing a training and evaluation program and being able to conduct training and sustain the proficiency of our own people. First, it was the First Apprenticeship of its kind in the United States. It was also the First in the ADCI.
We have all of our training programs currently on the ISNetworld data base. ISNetworld has a RAVS (Review and Verification Service) to assure that all of our (58) safety training programs meet the minimum standards, but also a T-RAVS (Training -Review and Verification Service) which monitors our training of each of the program subjects.
We have safety training personnel directly on staff, including an OSHA Instructor for General Industry and Construction.
We provide certifications to Pipeline OQ standards meeting the requirements of over 240 pipeline operators. Our Master Trainer and Pipeline Core Instructors can provide training on pipeline covered tasks by using the Contren Learning Series. We conduct Assessments and Performance Verifications to NCCER standards.
Evaluations are conducted by a Veriforce approved Evaluator. Covered tasks are evaluated for Veriforce pipeline operators. All evaluations are fee-based and conducted at your location or in a field setting.
