More and more operator oil companies are requiring the employees of their contractors to successfully complete a SafeLandUSA (¹) orientation program and to also carry on their person an official photo-ID badge (²) indicating they have completed the SafeLandUSA orientation.  Contractor companies can comply with this operator requirement by one or more of the following strategies:

1 ─ Get Your Employees SafeLandUSA Trained
Many contractors will simply need to get their employees SafeLandUSA trained.  You can use our training provider network to locate a professional training provider in our area.  Either click the Find a PEC Training Provider button below or the Find Training Providers button to the left.  If you cannot find a suitable PEC training provider, just call us at 1-800-892-8179 and ask for the Training Department (training@pecpremier.com).

All of the training providers listed in our provider network have been certified to teach either (or both) our PEC Basic Orientation and/or our PEC Core Compliance programs.  These two training courses were the first in the industry to be accredited by SafeLandUSA (³).  All students are issued a PEC photo-ID badge (²) showing the SafeLandUSA accreditation after completing either of these two courses.

2 ─ Get Your Instructors Certified to Teach PEC Programs
We can train your in-house instructors, public 3rd-party training provider instructors, or your community college instructors to teach our SafeLandUSA accredited courses.  We offer Train-the-Trainer programs on both our PEC Basic Orientation and our PEC Core Compliance programs, both of which are SafeLandUSA accredited.

To view the current Train-the-Trainer schedule, click the PEC Train-the-Trainer Schedule button above.  This schedule is updated often as new dates are added.  Also, you can click on one of the other two above buttons for more information on that train-the-trainer course, including the prerequisites.  Then contact us at 1-800-892-8179 and ask for the Training Department (training@pecpremier.com) to make arrangements for your instructors.  After completing our train-the-trainer courses, your instructors are then able teach the covered PEC course to your employees (in-house instructors) or for hire (3rd-Party instructors).

3 ─ Get Your Orientation Program SafeLandUSA Accreditation
PEC/Premier is a SafeLandUSA Accrediting Organization (⁴) and as such, we can help you get your orientation program SafeLandUSA accredited if it meets all of the SafeLandUSA components and requirements.  If your company wishes to submit it's training program to us for SafeLandUSA accreditation, please call us at 1-800-892-8179 and ask for the Training Department (training@pecpremier.com).  You may use the button below to download the PEC SafeLandUSA accreditation application form.

Note 1 ─ SafeLandUSA has been under development since 2005 and PEC/Premier has been on the SafeLandUSA Advisory Committee from the very beginning.  SafeLandUSA is loosely patterned after the enormously popular SafeGulf, except it addresses a land-based safety orientation program.  Additional information on SafeLandUSA can be found on the SafeLandUSA website at www.safelandusa.org.

Note 2 ─ If any of your employees have taken our PEC Basic Orientation or our PEC Core Compliance training programs since 2005 and require a new PEC badge showing the SafeLandUSA logo, they can purchase a replacement badge (which will include the new logo) by calling our Training Department at 1-800-892-8179.  If you looked up the employee's older PEC number in our on-line database, the employee will show the SafeLandUSA designation.  You may check our on-line database by clicking here (www.peccard.com).

Note 3 ─ Our PEC Basic Orientation and PEC Core Compliance training programs were the first in the industry to be SafeLandUSA accredited.  In fact, if you have used either of these training programs since 2005, your trainees are already SafeLand qualified!  This is because our programs were SafeLandUSA accredited even before SafeLandUSA rolled out.  As of December 2008, the training records of all trainees who attended our qualifying training programs since January 2005 have been updated with the new SafeLandUSA designation.  In fact, our records show that over 58,000 existing PEC students are now SafeLandUSA qualified!

Note 4 ─ On December 1, 2009 PEC/Premier became the first organization to go through the SafeLandUSA audit process and be accredited as a SafeLandUSA Accrediting Organization.
