Womack Brothers Strengthens Employee Expertise with OSHA HAZWOPER Certification

At Womack Brothers, we believe that the cornerstone of a successful project is a highly trained and safety-conscious team. As part of our ongoing commitment to employee development and environmental protection, we are proud to announce that our professionals have completed the rigorous OSHA HAZWOPER (Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response) training course. This certification is another step forward in ensuring that our team remains at the forefront of safety, readiness, and industry compliance.

The OSHA HAZWOPER certification is a comprehensive training program designed to equip workers with the knowledge and skills required to handle hazardous substances safely. It covers everything from recognizing hazards and properly handling dangerous materials to emergency response procedures. At Womack Brothers, this additional training allows our team to better navigate complex and high-risk job sites, particularly those that involve environmental hazards and the management of abandoned oil wells.

### Why HAZWOPER Training Matters

In our line of work, safety is non-negotiable. Our employees regularly deal with challenging environments where hazardous materials, such as gas leaks or contaminated soil, may be present. The HAZWOPER certification ensures that our team is fully equipped to handle these situations, whether we are plugging abandoned wells or conducting environmental restoration projects.

Through the HAZWOPER training, our employees learned critical safety protocols, such as:

- **Hazard recognition:** Identifying and assessing potential risks in hazardous environments.

- **Protective equipment use:** Ensuring proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure.

- **Emergency response:** Developing effective responses to spills, leaks, and other hazardous incidents.

- **Decontamination:** Proper methods for cleaning and decontaminating areas exposed to hazardous substances.

Our clients can rest assured knowing that we are not only focused on completing projects efficiently, but also with the highest safety standards in place.

Our team's enhanced knowledge means that we can confidently address these hazards while safeguarding the environment and local residents, whether the job site is in Louisiana or anywhere across the United States.
