As you've seen all over the news in recent weeks, volunteers and emergency responders are traveling from far and wide to the Gulf of Mexico, to provide whatever assistance they can to the on-going clean up effort of the massive oil platform spill. All of these people must be trained prior to getting involved in any work related to this clean up. And, of course, there is a major time crunch associated with this training. The faster everyone can be trained, the sooner they can start to help.

Our HAZWOPER training is the perfect solution for quickly training these "temporary employees". In fact, we have already processed several "rush" shipments of the HAZWOPER Series to groups in the area. So make sure your customers in the gulf region know that you can provide them with this training.

Updated Training on "Lock Out Tag Out"!!

MARCOM’s updated Lock-Out/Tag-Out program contains new information on "hot work guidelines", "arc flash", and dealing with hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The updated program also expands on issues like "affected employees", techniques for dealing with energy dissipation, and places more emphasis throughout on a facility's written Energy Control Program.

The Lock-Out/Tag-Out Compliance Manual now includes an electronic version of the "fill-in-the-blank" Energy Control Program. This fill-in-the-blank program comes on a CD and has been designed so that you simply "click" on the blanks and enter your facility-specific information. This eliminates the cumbersome handwriting or typewriting of the information that your program must contain.

The updated Lock-Out/Tag-Out training program is available in both English and Spanish and as a DVD/VHS, Interactive CD-ROM, or Online course. For more information click here.

Updated Training on "Emergency Planning"!!

MARCOM's Emergency Planning products were developed to help facilities with their emergency planning efforts and provide the first level of training needed by employees about how the emergency planning process works, as well as educate employees on their responsibilities in an emergency situation. Our updated training program is full of new scenes, as well as important additional information... such as a section on terrorist activity which helps companies evaluate their risk factors and determine their risk classification.

We have also updated our Emergency Planning Manual to include an electronic version of the "fill-in-the-blank" written Emergency Plan. This fill-in-the-blank Plan comes on a CD and has been designed so that you simply "click" on the blanks and enter your facility-specific information. This eliminates the cumbersome handwriting or typewriting of the information that your Plan must contain!

The updated Emergency Planning training program is available in both English and Spanish and as a DVD/VHS, Interactive CD-ROM, or Online course. For more information on our updated "Emergency Planning" products, click here.

Updated Winter Safety !!

The leaves are turning, there is a chill in the air and the Fall season is upon us. Before we know it, Winter will be here. And just in time, MARCOM has released an updated program on “Winter Safety”!

Employees who work outside in the Winter face a number of challenges, from just staying warm to dealing with brittle tools. And those who drive for their jobs need to use a whole new set of techniques to navigate safely.

MARCOM’s training products on “Winter Safety” show employees how to plan ahead, look for potential hazards and avoid dangerous situations that occur during the Winter season… whether they’re on or off the job.

Our new Construction Safety Kit Series

Employees in the building and construction industry face a number of hazards every day... from working with hand and power tools to exposure to hazardous chemicals. Their accident and injury rate is so high that OSHA has made building and construction companies a "target industry", placing added emphasis on working with them to try and combat this problem.

MARCOM's new "Construction Safety Series" teaches employees to spot hazardous situations and reviews what they can do to work safely and accident-free. The eighteen programs currently available in the series cover important general safety and regulatory compliance topics. The DVD/video programs are available separately, or as part of "Construction Safety Kits" that also include a supply of posters and employee booklets.

MARCOM has also created a "Construction Safety Package" consisting of 12 programs for $995.00 (12 for the price of 10!). Avoid unpleasant visits and unnecessary fines from OSHA by providing your employees with the training they need to keep safe!

You can get more detailed information on this new series on the product information page, or give us a call at 800-654-2448 x1.

MARCOM Releases Online Pay-Per-View Training!!
