Industrial Safety and Training Services
Crafting a Safer Future for Workplaces across America

Ensuring safety and complying with standards is crucial when overseeing multifaceted business operations. This focus protects employees and enables companies to function more efficiently, thereby reducing total organizational expenses. In this regard, Industrial Safety and Training Services (ISTS) is determined to improve employee safety within an organization. Leveraging over two decades of experience, the company offers various safety training programs to protect workers by reducing workplace hazards and accidents. This commitment is fortified by ISTS’s diverse workforce, which can address a range of customer requirements.

ISTS’s expertise lies in offering site-specific safety and training services that help organizations and their personnel adhere to regulatory guidelines, especially those set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). By addressing each organization’s unique requirements, the safety development and training programs ensure adherence to regulatory standards and enhance the overall safety and health culture within the workplace.

“We design customized safety and training programs for specific workplaces and industries, with the motive of enhancing a safe workplace,” says Gary K. Yurt Sr., president and chief safety advisor.

ISTS’s service portfolio encompasses specialized training in key areas, such as blood-borne pathogens, chemical management, fall protection, forklift safety and confined space entry. The company also emphasizes the importance of first aid and CPR/AED training , ensuring that employees are well-prepared for the many type of medical emergencies that can occur in a workplace .

These safety and training programs are developed based on ISTS’s deep understanding of the industry’s requirements and are constantly updated to suit changing regulatory requirements. The firm combines initial training, on-the-job training, and annual refresher courses to ensure the staff receives comprehensive and effective learning. Its innovative training methodologies, which include online, hands-on, and classroom sessions, are structured to accommodate the modern challenges that businesses face, especially in the post-COVID era.

To align employees’ challenging schedules while providing comprehensive safety and training, ISTS has adopted a flexible approach. Its safety and training programs, previously limited to a few days, are now deliberately spaced across several months. The structure involves four-hour sessions every Monday, designed to provide in-depth training without overwhelming the participants. This adjustment not only accommodates varying employee schedules but also ensures consistent, thorough safety education.

In one instance, ISTS was tasked with overseeing 17 sites across the US to vitalize their businesses during the pandemic. In response, the firm created a virtual training program that could be accessed in the US and Canada. This strategic shift from in-person programs to a virtual format, enabled organizations to comply with safety principles while saving time and costs associated with physical training sessions.

Rather than adhering to rigid training schedules, the attendees can customize their training by choosing from various options within ISTS’s training catalog. This facility comes with a scheduling feature that allows them to plan their training on a quarterly basis.

ISTS believes that delivering superior services requires a highly skilled workforce. To this end, the firm fosters a culture of continuous professional development among its staff, ensuring that they stay on top of technological advances, regulatory changes, and industry best practices. Its customer-centric approach, combined with its proficient workforce, positions it effectively to provide impactful solutions in workplace safety training.
