Testimonials |
|
The PSM enhanced my job performance which proved
important at evaluation time. I completed the program in eleven
months. It benefited our company with OSHA compliance and liability
issues. I have been in a position to testify in both criminal and
civil cases and the Principles of Safety Management was an additional
credential that greatly improved my credibility."
--Bill Hancsak, Safety Officer, JFK Medical Center
"Both
the required courses, and the electives are excellent. I strongly
recommend that everyone in the safety field be required to complete
the PSM program before being promoted into management. Our
qualification as a State of Florida Safe Workplace, and receiving the
Two Year Award of Excellence, is a direct result of my completing the
PSM."
--T.R.Scinski, Community Manager, Point Management
"The
PSM has provided us with many new tools necessary for proper
management. We have two managers currently enrolled in the program,
and the benefits they receive more than offsets the time and money our
company has invested with the Council."
--Mark Dubois, Production Manager, Callery-Judge Grove, L.P. |
