Each June, Trench Safety Month serves as an important reminder that excavation work can become deadly in seconds. A trench collapse can quickly create an unstable, time-critical emergency that puts both workers and rescuers at serious risk.
Emergency preparedness at hazardous waste sites is more than a compliance issue; it is a worker protection issue that affects employees, contractors, responders, and nearby communities.
In the wake of increasingly frequent and severe storms across the region, the University of Tennessee Center for Industrial Services (UT CIS) continues to strengthen community resilience through its delivery of the Post-Storm Response Safety course.
In industries dealing with hazardous materials, safety and compliance are crucial. The Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard 29 CFR 1910.120, established by OSHA, protects workers involved in hazardous waste operations and emergency response activities. Our HAZWOPER training and compliance services help your organization meet these essential safety standards.
