Our Safety Class Details
Forklift Safety Training Class
OSHA requires every forklift operator hold a valid forklift license and receive refresher training at least every three years - sooner if they have been involved in an accident, near-miss, or if reckless operation is reported.
Certified forklift operators require additional training when they are asked to operate a different class of forklift, or if something has changed in the workplace that may present a new hazard. Keep your employees safe and ensure OSHA compliance by conducting an on-site forklift training safety class.
Our experienced instructors can provide refresher training and issue new forklift certifications using your equipment at your facility. Schedule training whenever it's convenient, including nights or weekends.
Our class will be customized to your operation, equipment and work environment. Using video, lecture, group discussion and practical exercises (hands on) we cover topics including, but not limited to:
- pedestrian safety
- workplace hazards
- accident prevention
- driving skills
- fueling and charging
- inspecting your truck
- load handling
- dangers of complacency
- equipment knowledge
- dock hazards
Our instructors will issue hard wallet cards to successful students. You will also receive documentation for your records.
MEWP's Safety Training Class
Welcome to our MEWP safety training class details! As a construction equipment safety training expert, I am here to inform you about the importance of properly operating a mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) or aerial work platform, and the training required by OSHA.
According to OSHA regulations, any worker who operates a MEWP must be properly trained and authorized to do so. This is to ensure the safety of the operator, as well as those working in the vicinity of the MEWP. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in serious injury or even death.
To further improve safety measures, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has recently updated their standards for MEWPs. The new ANSI A92.22 and A92.24 standards set forth new requirements for design, safety features, and training for all types of MEWPs. It is important to note that these standards are mandatory and must be followed by all MEWP operators
Our MEWP training class covers all aspects of safety and operation of MEWPs, including the new ANSI standards. We will provide hands-on training and classroom instruction to ensure that each operator understands the proper procedures and precautions to take when working with a MEWP.
Our training topics include but are not limited to:
- MEWP types and characteristics
- Pre-start inspection and maintenance
- Safe operating procedures
- Fall protection and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Emergency procedures and rescue planning
- ANSI A92 standards and requirements
Our experienced trainers will work with you to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of all of these topics and are confident in your ability to safely operate a MEWP.
Don't wait until it's too late - get the necessary training to operate a MEWP safely and effectively.
Contact us today to schedule your MEWP safety training class!

Crystalline Silica Dust Safety Class
OSHA estimates that over 80% of the 2.3 million American workers that are exposed to silica dust are in the construction industry. Silica dust is a very small particle created by:
• Chipping, hammering, and drilling of rock
• Crushing, loading, hauling, and dumping of rock
• Abrasive blasting using silica sand as the abrasive
• Abrasive blasting of concrete (regardless of abrasive used)
• Sawing, hammering, drilling, grinding, and chipping of concrete or masonry
• Demolition of concrete and masonry structures
• Dry sweeping or pressurized air blowing of concrete, rock, or sand dust
It's been linked to several medical conditions when inhaled, some of which are fatal.
If you are potentially exposed to respirable crystalline silica dust at your worksite, OSHA requires you to complete this course.
What is crystalline silica?
An abundant natural material, crystalline silica is found in stone, soil, and sand. It is also found in concrete, brick, mortar, and other construction materials. Crystalline silica comes in several forms, with quartz being the most common. Quartz dust is respirable crystalline silica, which means it can be taken in by breathing.
How are people exposed to crystalline silica?
Exposure to tiny particles of airborne silica, primarily quartz dust, occurs mainly in industrial and occupational settings. For example, workers who use handheld masonry saws to cut materials such as concrete and brick may be exposed to airborne silica. When inhaled, these particles can penetrate deep into the lungs.
The primary route of exposure for the general population is inhaling airborne silica while using commercial products containing quartz. These products include cleansers, cosmetics, art clays and glazes, pet litter, talcum powder, caulk, and paint.
This Respirable Crystalline Silica Awareness for Construction course is an introductory-level safety course in which participants will learn the basics about silica and respirable crystalline silica dust that may be encountered on the construction sites. The course is designed to identify the basic health hazards associated with potential exposure, some of the common construction tasks that might result in exposure to respirable crystalline, and typical control/management measures that employers might implement to protect works from potential exposure.
The course will teach students to recognize who and what a competent person is and the basic requirements surrounding OSHA’s new standards regarding respirable crystalline silica.
Students partaking will gain a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the magnitude of silica in the construction environment, as well as the basic hazards, evaluations, and control techniques – in addition to OSHA’s requirements surrounding respirable crystalline silica.
Topics include but not limited to:
- Introduction to silica and respirable crystalline silica, including background and definitions
- Common construction activities that have the greatest potential for exposure
- Common hazards, evaluation, and control techniques of silica and respirable crystalline silica
- Importance of signage and labels, housekeeping, and a written exposure control plan
- Silica and respirable crystalline silica in construction summation
Industry terms that will be covered include action level, competent person, employee exposure, high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA), permissible exposure limit, and respirable crystalline silica.
This safety class is based on OSHA’s §1926.1153 Respirable Crystalline Silica and all applicable related OSHA standards that increases protection of workers through a number of exposure assessment and control measures.
This training program focuses on the successful completion of every student to be, OSHA compliant, and be knowledgeable and safe. We provide all training documents for your files.
Fall Protection Safety Training Class
OSHA’s Fall Protection Standard requires construction employers to protect employees who are working 6 feet or more above a lower level where leading edges are under construction, but who is not engaged in the leading edge work, to be protected from falling. There are several ways to implement fall protection. Employers should assess the workplace to determine where falls might occur and decide what the best fall protection would be (guardrail system, safety net system, or personal fall arrest system).
This Fall Protection Awareness for Construction safety class is designed to offer participants general information regarding fall protection requirements. Throughout the course, participants will learn the definitions and explanations of fall safety plans, equipment, and fall arrest and restraints. This course offers all the basics of information therein.
Our Fall Protection Awareness for Construction course is designed to meet and exceed the rules and regulations established by OSHA, governing common fall hazards and the need for protection in such situations.
