RSI has formulated a specialty class to allow contractors to become educated to follow policies of major carriers and general contractors. We conduct hundreds of safety seminars every year and are excited to be a preferred partner of choice to provide Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) awareness training to many carriers and general contractors. We are extending this offering to subcontractors so that you too, can gain the valuable and necessary knowledge to follow EH&S policies. This awareness training will supply the attendee with a thorough understanding of the requirements on various safety issues.

BMP + EHS = OSHA 10-Hour Card! With the proliferation of communications sites, due to the rapid expansion of the wireless industry, many carriers are faced with a myriad of safety issues that require awareness training. This course is meant for all employees that maintain cell sites, install wireless systems, construct sites, and perform maintenance or any other activities that can take place at telecommunications sites.
