Many water and wastewater treatment plants across Virginia utilize chlorine gas to treat water and wastewater. But did you know that at certain quantities of chlorine at your facility, you fall into additional laws and requirements called Process Safety Management (PSM)?
Recently in Virginia, there has been an increase in the number of citations levied by Virginia OSHA concerning this standard. Join us in this virtual engagement where you will learn what PSM is, what VOSH is looking for, and how you can remain compliant with this required standard.

Playground Safety and Maintenance Training (Front Royal)
2025-05-15 08:00 - 10:00 | United States
Every year, more than 200,000 children are seen at emergency rooms for injuries associated with playground equipment. While the only legal requirements placed on playgrounds involve the Americans with Disabilities Act, there are recommended actions to establish an organization’s “Standard of Care,” established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission as well as various American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
This training will provide information on these requirements, so you can ensure your entity’s playgrounds are properly audited, maintained, and inspected. Proper management can help in preventing accidental injury.
This training will offer two components, classroom and hands-on training, to help entities prevent and reduce incidents/losses. The hands-on training will be held at a separate location after the classroom training.
