WE ARE HEALTH & SAFETY


Safety goes hand in hand with quality work and quality production. As a fabrication, construction and maintenance company that works in the tank, vessel and water/wastewater treatment industries – we work in hazardous and potentially deadly environments. Our personnel must be capable of evaluating all safety concerns arising from other contractors working on site, toxic or explosive vapors and the dangers of hanging steel plate.

 

We employ full-time staff dedicated to the function of HEALTH and SAFETY. Our safety personnel has years of experience in the industry and continue to educate themselves on safety issues and concerns. At Advance Tank, we regularly train our office, shop and field personnel on proper safety awareness and injury prevention.  We continuously evaluate ongoing health and safety related issues on all job sites.
