Safety and Training

Training

SET Environmental has developed a comprehensive training program structured into five areas: Administrative, Safety, Regulatory, Technical, and Operational. Initial training includes 40 hours of classroom instruction. Each facility employee is certified by the American Red Cross in CPR/Standard First Aid. Continued training includes a minimum of eight hours annual review complemented with monthly safety meetings.

Medical Monitoring

SET Environmental's medical surveillance program includes a pre-employment and an annual physical examination as well as an examination upon any suspected exposure and upon termination of employment. A physician experienced in industrial medicine monitors medical surveillance results.

Safety Equipment

The facility is equipped with an intercom system capable of providing immediate emergency instructions to facility personnel. There are several phones on site that can be used to summon emergency assistance. Emergency response and first aid stations are located near each processing area. (See Exhibit D for description of emergency response equipment.) Each building is equipped with an automatic fire suppression system. The system activates when thermal detectors are exposed to a temperature of 190 degrees or a temperature rise of 15 degrees Fahrenheit in one minute or less. Once activated, an alarm sounds to evacuate employees and a monitoring service contacts the Fire Department.
