When our instructors come to the facility, they bring years of real-world experience and knowledge.

Industrial Consultants, LLC has assisted, trained and reviewed hundreds of Emergency Action Plans over the years and we look forward to many more years of serving our clients.
What Is An Emergency Action Plan?
Many companies house hazardous substances, such as anhydrous ammonia, that could potentially be released at their facilities. Other disasters such as fires, earthquakes, tornados, or various other types of inclement weather could occur at a facility as well. Since these events are beyond our client’s control, it is necessary to develop an Emergency Action Plan as specified by OSHA, so our clients have a way to promptly and safely respond to any emergency situation.
An Emergency Action Plan is based on anticipated events, therefore both OSHA and the EPA enforce regulations regarding evacuation procedures. This plan must address the methodology to help control the situation at hand.

Confined Space Training Conducted On-Site
This course develops employee awareness regarding the dangers they may encounter while working in and around confined spaces. OSHA regulations associated with permit entry program and working in confined spaces are covered, along with many hazards such as atmospheres, fire/explosions, electrocutions, heat and cold.
Additional lifesaving information will be shared, as well as the need for rescue services. Instructors will review and demonstrate the use of equipment for entry including body harness, lifelines, gas monitoring meters, non-entry rescue devices, tripods and winches.
All companies (not just food processing plants) that contain hazardous confined spaces need confined space training if they intend to enter and perform work activities in or near those confined spaces. Without the proper confined space permit and trained personnel in place, the company is open to multiple citations from OSHA.
