About Safety Compliance Services
It all began in 1993 with a dedication to providing high quality training in personal safety and risk recognition and mitigation to local industry, Safety Compliance Services has grown to a full service safety and rescue training and services organization serving clients across the country and overseas.
From the beginning, our goal was to provide high quality service tailored to each customer's specific needs. By continually striving to exceed our customer's expectations and to never except second best, Safety Compliance Services has grown to become a premier provider of safety and rescue training, safety services, and standby rescue service across the U.S. Our portfolio of clients spans 30 states and 7 foreign countries serviced from offices in North Syracuse, New York and Scottsdale, Arizona. Our team of quality instructors and consultants along with our experienced, dedicated rescue technicians is staffed primarily by active and retired professional firefighters. Many on our staff are current or former line and chief officers who bring with them years of experience teaching lifesaving skills, working in industrial settings, and providing unwavering leadership. It is these skills that set our instructors, consultants, and rescue technicians apart from many of our competitors.
Although we have worked extensively for many years in the power generation industry and have developed a reputation for being “experts” in this unique field, we also serve all types of industrial and non-industrial clients. Whether you have a need for simple assistance in providing basic safety training to a handful of employees, need support in ensuring regulatory compliance with a specific issue, or you need corporate wide support developing programs and procedures and training hundreds of employees across numerous sites, we have done it and we can help.
