“Lanny, I just wanted to say THANK YOU! You came and did two classes for us and I really appreciate you helping to educate our team on the truly safest way to do their jobs. We enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you better. You did a great job! I feel like you taught our team a lot and the right way to do things.

“Class was 100% informative and I learned a ton.”
“We thought we had all the safety aspects covered for our rail operations with our in-house training material. After some hard lessons, we turned to Rail Safe to help us understand what was missing. The comprehensive system of CBT’s, classroom presentations, field training, and evaluations provided us with a solid program we are now using at all our B&I facilities across the nation. Many thanks to Chuck, Ken, and their team for helping us get to a much safer state of rail operation.”

“Rail yards are complex, challenging and provide an ever-changing environment which is why it is so important to be aware of the hazards and understand safe procedures. Our employees recently attended Rail Safe’s training which focused on 18 aspects of rail yard safety to enhance awareness, review safe procedures and provide an opportunity to discuss safety with a veteran rail yardman, Wes Hazlett. The experiences shared provided insight, situational awareness and key lessons learned. Our employees appreciated the information and focus provided in this training session.”
Brandy Fischer, Safety Director

“I was so impressed with the Rail Safe’s online training that I have decided to make the course mandatory before a new hire can perform any work in our railyards. It is a very well written course and I can assure you will not be disappointed. I have taken many online courses in a variety of subjects and Rail Safe is by far superior in their teaching technique & content. Do your employees and your company a favor by taking the course written by the experts today – safety is Rail Safe’s priority…..and they definitely get the message across.“
