Right to a Safe Workplace

All Oscar W. Larson Employees can expect a workplace that exhibits an exemplary safety culture. Each job, service call or warehouse location has the characteristics of what makes for a safe and healthful workplace, free of hazards. At any time if an employee feels unsafe, they have the right to stop work under these circumstances without fear of reprimand. “If it’s not Safe, Don’t Do It”

Training & Qualifications

New employees are enrolled in pre-employment safety training before even getting their boots on the ground. Training is provided both pre-employment and throughout an employee’s career at OWL.

All Oscar W. Larson Skilled Technicians have minimum baseline training which begins with OSHA 10 Hour, American Petroleum Institute RP 1646 and Defensive Driver training to start. As an employee develops more skills over time, the more advanced levels of safety training will be applied to those areas necessary. Employee training curriculums meet those required by OSHA and are taught by an OSHA Authorized Outreach Construction Trainer.

We provide high quality personal protective equipment to our employees along with some of the finest tools and equipment to help promote a safe, quality display of work.

Job Planning & Hazard Recognition

Before work commences, jobs and service calls are carefully planned through safety process management and hazard identification. Our pre-job safety plans and site safety deliverables have always met or exceeded customer’s requirements.
