Saftey Training & Procedures

Popco provides safety training for all affected employees, at a minimum, annually on the contents and subjects of our safety program. In our pre-work safety meetings, scheduled training, toolbox talks and Monday morning safety training, an employee will be exposed to the content regularly. Each supervisor has direct access to a Popco safety manual in their office, truck or tool box for review.

Training comes from a combination of study directly from the programs policy, scope, expectations, responsibilities, field experience and content of each safety section and third party outside sources for a variety of content coverage from OSHA, NFPA, NIOSH and other standards.

Per OSHA standards, in such case of incident, accident, near miss, change of equipment, environment or workplace, Popco provides additional training.
