Creating and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment at Achilles USA is the right thing to do for our employees, for the residents of the communities in which our operations are located, for our customers and for the environment. It’s also just plain good business.
New Employees Orientation
All employees undergo several orientations before they begin work, including:
- Environmental
- Health
- Safety and security
Government statistics show that new employees who do not have experience with their new duties and/or their new work environment are much more likely to be involved in incident and injury.

- Portable fire extinguisher training
- Lockout/Tagout training
- Hazard communication training
- Hazardous material handling training
