Safety Council partners

with Rose State

The University of Texas at Arlington has been selected by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration to serve as an OSHA Training Institute Education Center.

The new addition to the UT Arlington Division for Enterprise Development will serve safety and health instructional needs throughout Region VI of the federal government (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas).

“The Oklahoma Safety Council is honored to be a part of this new OTI appointment as we’ve been chosen and approved as a satellite training center for the University of Texas at Arlington,” said Dave Koeneke, OSC executive director.

The OSC has in turn chosen Rose State College as a primary partner for training.

“This is a great opportunity to receive high level OSHA safety education at a “state-of-the-art” multimedia facility without the necessity of traveling out of state,” Koeneke says.

The Oklahoma Outreach Training Facility, the partnership’s new name, will begin classes in early April. Until the OOTF Web site is completed, course schedules can be found temporarily on the homepage of the OSC Web site at www.oksafety.org.

More information is available by calling the OSC at 848-8626.

Clinic goes green

Sparks Clinic has announced the addition of a digital X-ray system.

A digital X-ray system removes the need to use silver rich chemicals that are released into the water system. It also eliminates the need for film that must eventually be destroyed and the silver recovered to prevent it from entering the environment.
