Safety Training

Customized OSHA-compliant training, instructor-led on site or cloud-based through SafetyAnywhere, so crews are job-ready faster.

Safety First Group provides customized safety awareness training with a special focus on process industries. Every program is built around your site, your hazards and the people doing the work, whether they are your own employees or contractor crews arriving for a turnaround.

On-site and online safety training

We deliver training two ways, and most clients use both:

  • Instructor-led, on site. Our trainers come to your facility and teach in the context of your units, your equipment and your procedures. Sessions can be tailored to a single unit, a full plant workforce or a contractor crew arriving for a project.
  • Cloud-based, through SafetyAnywhere. Employees and contractors complete site orientation and regulatory training online before they arrive, so they show up ready to work.

Regulatory training: LOTO, electrical and chemical safety

Regulatory courses cover the OSHA topics where mistakes cause the most serious injuries:

  • lockout/tagout and the control of hazardous energy
  • electrical safety for qualified and unqualified personnel
  • chemical safety

Process safety training

For sites that handle highly hazardous chemicals, process safety training helps workers understand the hazards behind the procedures. Courses include chemical safety, pressure safety and hazard recognition, and they support the training element of your PSM program.

Equipment training: crane, rigging and scaffold

Lifting and working at height are high-risk activities on any industrial site. Our equipment training covers crane, rigging and scaffold safety for the crews doing the work.

Contractor safety orientation with SafetyAnywhere

Contractor personnel receive the safety orientations your site requires. With SafetyAnywhere, our platform for industrial training, site orientation, visitor accountability and field guidance, that orientation happens before the first day instead of in a classroom off site.

SafetyAnywhere is trusted by 56 industrial sites. It offers:

  • story-driven training built on real-world situations
  • fast, frictionless onboarding for contractors and visitors
  • visitor check-in and accountability at the gate
  • setup and launch handled by our team, so your site goes live quickly

It replaces the time-consuming trip to a safety council class with site-specific training people complete before they arrive. Learn more at safetyanywhere.com.

Training for Gulf Coast plants and contractors

Our training clients include Hess, ExxonMobil, bp, Chevron, Valero, Motiva, Marathon Petroleum, Colonial Pipeline and Houston Metro. Training is often one part of a bigger program, so we pair it with written policies and procedures and on-site EHS support when that helps.

FAQ

Questions we hear from safety managers.

Do you provide on-site safety personnel, or only consulting?

Both. We place safety professionals, certified industrial hygienists and project teams at client sites as nested contractors, from a few days a month to 24/7/365 coverage. We also do standalone audits, studies and training.

Which process hazard analysis methods do you use?

HAZOP, What-If, Structured What-If (SWIFT), Bow-Tie, LOPA and safety reviews. We also perform facility siting studies, blast studies, ventilation studies and process safety valve (PSV) studies required under OSHA’s PSM standard.

Can you write our safety policies and procedures from scratch?

Yes. We identify each hazard at your location, decide the policy that addresses it and document the procedures behind it, including IH protocols, PPE requirements and all 14 elements of process safety management where hazardous chemicals are involved.

How is your training delivered?

Instructor-led on site, or cloud-based through our SafetyAnywhere platform, which lets employees and contractors complete site-specific orientations and regulatory training before they arrive. Programs cover regulatory, process safety and equipment topics.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Kountze, Texas and work throughout the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast, including Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur and the Golden Triangle. Project teams have supported facilities across the US and abroad.
