The 2023 Train-the-Trainer Safety Seminars have been scheduled. We have scheduled TWO Seminars this year. These seminars are targeted to the individuals doing the actual training and/or day-to-day supervision in the gin. Participants will get approximately a day and a half of classroom time and as much hands on time as necessary to demonstrate proficiency to the instructors.

There are a couple reasons to consider this seminar beside the general safety information provided. The first is a lot of practical knowledge surrounding OSHA rules and regulations. The instructors have many years (decades) of experience dealing with OSHA in Agriculture and General Industry. Another is that the participants will leave the seminars with all the materials and knowledge necessary to train other employees on Powered Industrial Trucks (Fork lifts and Bale Squeezes) and Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (Scissor Lifts and Boom Lifts).

April 25-27 we will hold the school at Associated Cotton Growers Gin. This gin will host the group for all three days of classroom and hands on training. May 9-11 we will be holding the classroom time at the Holiday Inn in Greenville, NC and the hands-on at the Pitt County Gin in Bethel, NC.

Please see our SEMINAR PAGE for more information, Registration and Draft Syllabus for the seminars. Space is Limited to 25 per Session.
