I feel that I am “preaching to the choir” when I write about our gratitude and respect for those of you in government positions and essential industries pushing forward right now, at work or home, whether by choice or necessity, at this uncertain time, our families, both personally and professionally, thank you.
I am sure, you like us, are short staffed and are being asked to do unfamiliar jobs, so we want you to know, first and foremost we are here (https://www.hazmat-tsp.com) as always, at no cost, to answer your questions and to address any of your concerns.
DOT EPA OSHA GUIDEBOOK
Having the current DOT, EPA and OSHA regulations available for compliance and for training workers, is key to meeting your worker protection, environmental and transportation commitments. Your employees need now, more than ever the proper information, certifications and support.

The 2000 page Guidebook, with it’s test and training certificates, can be shipped to businesses, individual home addresses, in fact anywhere you need, to use for work or to train your people online. Order now!
LIVE ONLINE SEMINARS and WORKSHOPS

INFORMATION ON LOANS AND GRANTS
And to those of you at home, who cannot work, thank you for your sacrifices too. I can't imagine not being able to work, and, at the same time not being able to see and spend time with the people that you love and care about, especially now when many of them, at times feel isolated and vulnerable, that, makes it unbearable.
Go online to the Small Business Administration (https://www.sba.gov/page/coronavirus-covid-19-small-business-guidance-loan-resources) and get help, keep your people working, there are going to be a lot of empty warehouses that will need to be refilled. You need to be ready. Apply now!
