WE ARE HEALTH & SAFETY


Safety is fundamentally connected to delivering quality work and production. As a company specializing in fabrication, construction, and maintenance within the tank, vessel, and water/wastewater treatment sectors, we operate in hazardous environments that can be deadly. Our team must evaluate all safety risks, including those posed by other contractors on site, toxic or explosive vapors, and hazards associated with hanging steel plates.

We employ highly trained, dedicated full-time staff specializing in health and safety to safeguard our employees. Our safety team has extensive industry experience and certifications and continue to enhance their safety knowledge and expertise. At Advance Tank, we hold regular training sessions for our office, shop, and field personnel on safety awareness and injury prevention. Additionally, we systematically evaluate ongoing health and safety concerns across all our job sites.

  • Between 3 and 6 months of work, all recent hires are trained utilizing face-to-face and online training.
  • Existing employees are trained in new health and safety concerns and receive refresher courses on existing safety expectations.
  • Advance Tank participates with ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce, HASC, Aconez, Proveedor, and Integrity next
  • Every morning, all Advance Tank crews are required to have Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) meetings to discuss the day’s work plans and any safety concerns that could arise from that work.
  • Midday, all Advance Tank crews revisit the JHA and address changing conditions while reinforcing the work scope already covered.
  • All Superintendents and Site Coordinators attend specialized training periodically as a group with Corporate Management to ensure alignment on all corporate business objectives and strategies.

  • All Advance Tank field personnel are included in the DISA drug testing pool. However, if your company requests a different testing agency, please inform us and we will make the necessary adjustments.
