Safety-Focused Training

ACE’s safety training program encompasses regulatory training as required by OSHA, RCRA, DOT, state and local regulations. Additional training such as confined space entry and rescue, marine transfer, specialized training to work with hazardous or other wastes, and hazard recognition processes is also part of our safety program. Training updates are conducted monthly as part of operational meetings. At ACE, safety is more than just a program; it is a part of our culture. ACE’s Safety Team is actively involved in day-to-day operations within our organization, visiting job sites, mentoring employees, managing our programs, and implementing continuous improvement initiatives to help improve the level of service we provide our clients.
