Enjoyed my time during our HAZWOPER training. Regular training and refreshers are crucial to ensuring the well-being of our teams' competency in handling hazardous materials and responding to potential emergencies. #HAZWOPER #WorkplaceSafety #safetyfirst

Investing in our staff's preparedness through proper training like first aid, crane operation, and Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), to name a few, is not just about ticking compliance boxes; it's about prioritizing a culture of education and safety that becomes a very important aspect of our onsite operations.

There’s one thing when explaining it in the classroom but when my candidates get out and actually have to lift one, they always point out how they can “Feel” the movement on the truck. #liveloads #forklifttraining #forkliftdriver #forkliftoperator #counterbalance #brewery #hse #instructor #thursdaythoughts

🚨 In our ongoing commitment to safety, we use real-life scenarios from IRATA training bulletins to educate and prepare our team. One such example involves a technician whose safety protocols were put to the test when their rope contacted an extremely hot surface, leading to a near miss.  📚 This incident, thankfully a real life training case and not an accident at our company, emphasizes the importance of rigorous safety training and having robust backup systems in place. 🔥🛑  At Rope Access in London, we ensure every technician is trained to handle unexpected situations safely. This story is a powerful reminder of why we prioritize safety above all.  🗞️ Check the IRATA safety bulletin no. 44 here https://lnkd.in/eq9Grz84 where you can read more about this dangerous case.  #RopeAccessSafety #SafetyTraining #LearnFromRealLife

📝 Training Services: At Alpha X Industrial Service, we understand that cultivating a safe and efficient work environment is of utmost importance to businesses. That's why we offer a range of comprehensive training programs designed to address key areas such as manual handling, working at height, confined space entry, first aid, and abrasive wheels. 📦 When it comes to manual handling, we emphasise the significance of safety at every level of operation. Our risk assessment approach takes into account the nature of the task, individual capabilities, load characteristics, and environmental layout. By implementing these measures, we ensure the well-being of your staff and foster a culture of safety. 🪜 Working at height requires special attention, and our training incorporates HSE guidelines to safeguard employees in such situations. Our risk assessments identify necessary precautions and ensure that equipment is suitable, stable, and regularly maintained. We prioritise the protection of your workforce while minimising risks associated with working at height. ⚠️ Complying with the Confined Spaces regulations, we conduct thorough assessments to identify potential hazards and the risks of serious injury. We then determine the necessary precautions to mitigate those risks. By adhering to industry best practices, we ensure the safety of individuals working in confined spaces. 🚑 Basic first aid skills are vital, and having trained first aiders on your team can make a significant difference during emergency situations. We offer first aid training, equipping your staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively in critical situations. ⚙️ Finally, our abrasive wheel safety training equips participants with the knowledge to handle, operate, and maintain abrasive wheels safely. We cover topics such as identifying dangers, legal responsibilities, storage, inspection, and selecting the most suitable wheels for specific tasks. No matter your training needs, Alpha X Industrial Service is here to deliver exceptional results. Our reputation and experience will add value and expertise to your business.

Our employees are used as Spotters everyday on the job. They are spotting for a variety of large and small vehicles, trucks & equipment. There is a right way and a WRONG way to spot in the field. Lacking the knowledge to spot correctly increases opportunities for: ☠ Slips, Trips and Falls ☠ Caught in between, struck by incidents ☠ Collisions ☠ Line strikes ☠ Electrocution and many other dangers that lurk on our job sites everyday. These are life changing risks that can always be avoided. Our field and floor employees need to understand proper body mechanics, proper movement and to fully understand the importance of this function in the field as it applies to their jobs. There are not a lot of Spotter Training courses offered for our field and floor workers except for crane operations... 🔐 Versa Safety has you covered. Our spotter training was designed for our field workers across many industries. It includes theory (classroom), practical skills and an evaluation to ensure that they understand the course content and can deploy their new skillset in the field. All of our completed courses come with a certificate of Completion and Training records. Safety compliance and best practices to keep our workers safe is critical. We can help!

One of my first cases as a baby health and safety lawyer involved an auto mechanic that was killed after the lift he was working under failed (there was evidence of a hydraulic failure, as opposed to the placement of the vehicle or any adjustment of the lift). Digging into the safety of such lifts left me firmly of the impression I never wanted to work under one (or look at my vehicle on one if it was subject to some maintenance). Call me superstitious, but I don't trust them. But, as usual, this isn't about the lift, safety of the lift, or whether it is rated for commercial use. Instead I want to talk about mobilizing work that is normally done at a fixed locations and the potential ramifications associated with the mobilization of that work (and corresponding loss of access to supplies, safety program materials, and communications). Let's start with the jacks on the trailer. It appears that there are front and rear jacks designed to stabilize the trailer when work is performed. (Yes, this sort of builds on the fear of vehicles lifts, but its different.) They are not deployed, though the vehicle is in the air 4 to 5 feet. Looking around a bit at this sort of trailer, it appears it is industry standard to deploy those jacks when lifting a vehicle. Can you say General Duty Clause? This is a hazard not normally found in a fixed site, but analogues are, such as fixed stops. Moving on to hazard communication can there be any issue? There are five containers of substances that are likely considered hazardous substances. But they are in containers that can be purchased at normal retail outlets and therefore aren't covered by the standard, right? Only if the employer can demonstrate they are used in the same manner (e.g., with the same frequency and duration of use) as a normal consumer would utilize them. How often do you think the average consumer handles these products? Surely not multiple times per day. So where are these gentlemen securing access to SDSs? I am guessing, like most automotive fluids, at least some of the four products in cans are flammable. Am I missing a fire extinguisher that is readily accessible? Emergency action planning and first aid? I'm guessing call 911 in the event of an emergency, but is that enough for this sort of work? Should someone be first aid trained? Should there be equipment available to assist if the lift fails? What is the plan if the lift fails and both techs are unable to extricate themselves. This is not a shop environment where people are available to detect and assist if there is a problem requiring rescue or other action. We are becoming an ever more mobile society with an ever more mobile workforce, but those mobile workforces create challenges due to the fact they are not at fixed sites and, like construction, many of the sites they work at are evolving and developing. When it comes to health and safety, more mobility does not mean less responsibility. #odworkplacesafety

WHY IS HAZWOPER TRAINING IMPORTANT? In today’s industrial landscape, where hazardous materials pose significant risks to both human health and the environment, Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response or HAZWOPER training stands as a beacon of safety and responsibility. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in safeguarding lives, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring regulatory compliance. https://lnkd.in/gZhtN-Bt
