Enrollment options for Machine Safety Specialists (MSS) Machine Safety and Risk Assessment Training Classes


All too often, organizations don’t adhere to OSHA’s guidelines until it’s too late – “too late” meaning they’re being sued by an employee because of a workplace-related injury due to negligence or they’re receiving a fine on behalf of OSHA because of improper safety precautions. Some of these regulations and standards may seem trivial and meticulous, but they’re created with a purpose: to keep people safe.  Allow the experts at Machine Safety Specialists (MSS), a Clarion Safety System's subsidiary, to properly train your staff on all things machine safety and prevent you from having to pay for negligence in the future. 

Our training courses will improve safety in your facility by increasing awareness of modern safety standards and enabling the increased use of engineering controls to reduce the risk of your machinery.
