The Whertec Difference

The Whertec Difference :: Whertec Safety

All of Whertec's employees have acquired, at least, OSHA's minimum on-site CFR 1910 General Industry safety training and medical surveillance requirements.  This gives our employees the knowledge to prevent safety incidents and accidents while performing their work duties.  It is our goal at Whertec to provide our employees with the maximum training we can provide.  In addition to minimum safety requirements, Whertec offers all employees 10hr and 30hr OSHA courses. Training certificates for all employees are maintained at our safety department.
