We are very comfortable with medical consultation, respirator protection programs, respirator questionnaires and exams, hearing conservation, and DOT drug and alcohol programs - that’s what we do! We comply with all Federal, State, and local Safety training and regulatory requirements. If we do get your contract we would ask that we have the opportunity to do a “walk through” of a representative facility to help us to understand the demands on employees.
