Training and Testing

Kel-Tech Safety Services Inc. can arrange individual and/or group on site testing and training for proper safety techniques and procedures, according to the Occupational Safety Standards (OCS) for the following categories:

Spark Watch / Fire Watch

One of the most effective ways to control and even eliminate fire hazards in the workplace is to have a fire and safety (spark) watch trained employee. At Kel-Tech Safety Services we provide training in the critical responsibilities of a Spark Watch. With our help, your Spark Watch employee will be certified and fire hazard aware. We believe a Spark Watch Trained Employee is a valuable asset and necessary requirement whenever welding, mining, and other operations posing fire hazards are done in the workplace.

Our Spark Watch training includes:

Being able to recognize potential fire hazards while work is being performed, such as welding, burning, cutting, grinding.

Following all safety guidelines according to the safety permit.

Maintaining safe containment of flammable materials from ignition sources.

Proper use and handling of a fire extinguisher, fire hose, or water suppression system while responding to a fire alarm.

Knowing when to call 911 and activate a fire alarm.

The presence of mind to stop all operations should a hazardous condition arise.

Respirator Training

The employer must provide appropriate respiratory protective equipment if a worker is or may be exposed to concentrations of an air contaminant in excess of an applicable exposure or excursion limit, or to an oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Kel-Tech helps employers by performing fit tests to ensure that respiratory protection has an effective seal with the face; proper paperwork is completed on fit-tested employees to ensure employer due-diligence. Kel-Tech helps your staff breathe easier.

Fall Protection Awareness Training

Kel-Tech Fall Protection Awareness Training Instructors will guide you through all situations of Fall Arrest, from the different types of Fall Protection, to what personal protective equipment to use and how to calculate Fall Clearances. Our trained instructors will explain in detail what you need to know, emphasize key points, and test your knowledge retention after each step. Having your employees and supervisors fully trained in Fall Protection Awareness shows the employer is doing their “Due Diligence” and that they comply with Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.

Gas Testing Training

Kel-Tech tests all required gases such as Oxygen; Combustible gases; Hydrogen Sulphide; Carbon Monoxide; Sulphur Dioxide and any other gases required. We use state of the art equipment in order to perform accurate testing. Being Kel-Tech trained and tested, enables the employer to feel confident in the safety of his employees and workers.
