MASC now offers additional training to meet your safety needs!

We've led the way in contractor safety with Basic Orientation Plus™ and site-specific safety orientations for Charleston area industries-now MASC is adding courses geared to getting your employees "in the know" on key safety topics.

For contractors and other companies as well, our programs address critical safety issues. We'll work with you to be sure that your employees understand the specific hazards and appropriate prevention measures for your workplace.

Check out our schedule

A changing menu of programs includes the most-requested and required safety topics. Many courses are offered on several dates, and even during evening hours, in response to your scheduling requests. While most short sessions are very affordably priced at $20 per hour/student for members and $25 per hour/student for non-members, we also offer national standard programs such as OSHA 10 at rates competitive with regional offerings so you can save the usual added costs of airfare, lodging, etc.

In addition to the courses on this schedule at MASC, we can also arrange "ON DEMAND" programs-for both our currently scheduled sessions and others you may need. Just call to arrange a class-let us know the topic to cover, along with the time and place that's best for you, and we'll do the rest.
