Practical Safety Training Program

Recently, the entire Res-Kem field team went through an all day practical safety training program.  The training included, Confined Space Entry, LOTO (Lock-Out Tag-Out) and JSA (Job Safety Assessment). This training is integral to Res-Kem's desire to eliminate injuries in our facilities as well as when we are working at or visiting our customer's plants.
