Safety Training That Builds Confidence from Day One
Safety training begins before the first day on the job. From the moment prospective employees fill out an application to taking their Safety Self Test, employees learn our professional standards, personal responsibility, and commitment to working the right way.
Additionally, SCM invests in comprehensive training to ensure our team is prepared for their respective roles, including required training and certifications for specialized and high-risk activities, such as:
- CDL Safety Training
- Forklift Operations
- Situational Awareness in High Traffic Situations
These hands-on experiences help employees perform their jobs safely and efficiently while maintaining industry standards.

Our Total Safety Program is continuously evolving to reflect current best practices and regulatory standards. Leaders at every level actively support through:
- Company-wide training sessions are held once a year
- Regular safety toolbox talks
- Weekly safety-focused discussions
- Ongoing quarterly safety training
These sessions ensure all employees stay informed on the latest DOT and OSHA regulations, updates, and innovations.
