Safety Is Not Just a Priority–
It's Our Culture.
Safety is the foundation of everything we do and the success of every project, every response effort, and every field activity begins and ends with our people — the highly skilled and motivated staff who stand at the front lines of complex and high-risk operations – every minute of every workday. This is why we have built, and strive to maintain, a safety culture that goes beyond minimum compliance requirements.
We are proud to have achieved over one-million recordable-free man-hours, a milestone made possible through our relentless commitment to employee retention, advanced training, employee mentoring, continuous improvement, and caring for the well-being of our employees. Our comprehensive safety and continuing education programs ensure that every member of our team is not only well prepared, but fully equipped to think critically, act decisively, and lead safely in the most challenging environments.
Our rigorous training and certification pathways encompass HAZWOPER, HAZMAT Response, Confined Space, OSHA, MSHA, Marine Safety, and First Aid, among others. From specialized operator certifications to continuing education, our staff is empowered with the tools and knowledge to protect themselves, their coworkers, and the communities we serve.
Industrial Response Services (IRS) maintains a commendable safety record, with a focus on Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). To uphold high safety standards, all employees undergo rigorous testing, annual hazmat physicals, including drug testing, fit testing, and 40-hour training, ensuring they are equipped to handle emergency situations efficiently. Additionally, employees are required to undergo Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) background checks, further enhancing the company's commitment to safety and security.
