Additional Safety Training Considerations for Workers in Mobile AL

Our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors. However, there are many workers in and around Mobile who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses.  

Heat Illness Prevention Training is essential for anyone working in high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can lead to heat stress and even life-threatening heat stroke. Whether working on construction sites, road-work, landscaping and lawn care crews, in terminals or the port, in commercial kitchens, attics, or buildings without adequate ventilation, workers must know how to recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training equips them with the knowledge needed to help them work safely in extreme heat.

Workers in industries such as storm or wastewater management, agriculture, mining, and oil and gas must be aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found at drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, mines, manure pits, grain elevators, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. H2S Hazard Awareness Training helps ensure workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.

Affected workers involved in confined space entry operations must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. Additionally, construction workers and supervisors entering confined spaces must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.
