ESS expands its Educational Services

Business as usual may seem an outdated concept after the past few years, but for chemical production, distribution, manufacturing, and other essential industries, it’s just as relevant now as it’s always been.

Despite the many difficulties caused by the pandemic and supply chain issues, distributors have needed to continue to operate safely and effectively. To do that, they’ve had to make sure they comply with the latest rules and regulations, and provide the right training to their employees.

For over two decades, Environment & Safety Solutions, Inc. has helped our clients stay on top of occupational safety and the ever-changing environmental laws, regulations, and requirements by making sense of even the most complex of issues.

We’ve been seeing increased demand for our training and educational programs, so we’re now expanding those services.

Companies often have gaps in their training – we’re here to help fill them.

As we look to develop and expand our offerings, we’re pleased to announce the addition of Jessica Carr to our team as Manager – Educational Services.

Working closely alongside ESS President Peter Downing and Vice President Rachelle Alexander, Jessica’s role will include preparing and coordinating webinars and workshops, as well as managing speeches and presentations delivered at trade events. She will be responsible for developing the portfolio and growing our online training sessions.

Having worked for over a decade as a high school teacher in Rahway, NJ, teaching environmental science and biology, she will be introducing some of the tools and techniques used in the classroom to our training courses.

“This is an exciting new challenge for me and I’ve already seen the many parallels between the classroom and the environment, health, and safety services that ESS offers its clients,” she says.

“I want to make our training even more engaging and interactive by introducing some of the tools and technologies I’ve been using these last few years in education, particularly with remote learning during the pandemic. Our aim at ESS is to make even the most complex of subjects easier to understand.”

Remote learning has become increasingly popular, and at times necessary, these past few years and the development of our virtual offerings will draw on Jessica’s expertise to ensure we provide the same high-quality training you’d expect, whether you’re working with us in-person or from behind a screen.

“We recognize how our clients’ needs are changing and we want to provide the same level of training, wherever they are,” adds Carr.

All our sessions are tailored to your specific needs and requirements with in-house and virtual training courses covering topics such as Hazardous Communication, Emergency Planning, Fire Safety, Forklift, Waste Management, Personal Protective Equipment, Respiratory Protection, and many, many more.

Navigating ever-changing health and safety legislation can be challenging for even the most established chemical businesses. Whether you need help with audits and inspections or to meet the requirements of OSHA and other agencies, ESS is here to support you.
