Allied holds 15th annual Safety Days Training Event

Allied Environmental Services, Inc. (Allied), recently held its 15th annual corporate “Safety Days” event at our headquarters in Lima, Ohio.    

The Safety Days event was held February 8-9, 2024, providing two full days of classroom and hands-on training to all Allied employees.  The training sessions focused on changes in regulatory safety regulations and requirements, safe work practices and employee well-being. 

The event was organized and spear-headed by Allied Corporate Safety Manager, Tyler Beemer - great job Tyler!  Allied also invited some industry friends and vendors to participate in Day-1 of the event by presenting an impressive lineup of informative training sessions.  The Allen County Chapter of American Red Cross provided training on blood-borne pathogens, ProMedica EAP discussed drug-free workplace policy, Malta Dynamics provided a comprehensive review of fall protection standards and best practices, and Shawnee Township Fire Department provided hands-on fire extinguisher training and AED (defibrillator) training.  Phelan Insurance provided training sessions on workplace harassment and defensive driving – including a mobile Driver Training Simulator, which gives the “driver” the experience of piloting a commercial vehicle through a number of challenging scenarios. 

Day-2 of the event focused on HAZWOPER 40-hr Refresher training, which is required for all Allied field crews.  The HAZWOPER training was provided by The University of Findlay All Hazards Training Center and included classroom sessions, hands-on dress-out in Level-A, B and C PPE and decontamination procedures.

The safety of our employees is our top priority, and we are committed to offering them the best training and education possible.  A big “thank you!” to Allied staff members Tyler Beemer, Connie Stimmel, and Courtney Parent for organizing the event, and to all Allied employees for making this year’s Safety Days a resounding success!  

Special thanks to our friends at American Red Cross, ProMedica, Malta Dynamics, Shawnee Township F.D., Phelan Insurance and University of Findlay.  And an extra-special thank you to our friends at Jendco Safety and Rain for Rent for sponsoring lunches and safety-related prizes!  We couldn’t do it without you!

Looking forward to next year!
