We require State or Government issued picture ID (US Driver’s License or Identification Card, US Military ID, Department of Corrections Card, or International Passport).

While we make every effort to process your personnel correctly, occasionally someone will leave the council with an incorrect badge. This is something that we cannot correct over the phone. Your employee will need to return and have his badge remade.

Yes. RPSC now accepts MASTERCARD, VISA, AMERICAN EXPRESS AND DISCOVER CARD for payment. Contact the Accounting Department for more information.

Arrival Time: It is recommended to arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the class starts.

Punctuality: Late arrivals are not permitted; classes begin on time.

Alternate Arrangements: If late, the trainee will need to attend the next available class.

This ensures a smooth training experience for everyone involved.

RPSC requires that every trainee show an unexpired (or expired no longer than 60 days with renewal receipt) government-issued photo ID to be eligible for training. Identification documents must be the original documents. Copies or facsimiles are not acceptable.

The following are acceptable forms of identification:

• Valid state-issued driver license
• Valid state-issued identification card
• Valid United States federal identification card (i.e. Military or Department of Corrections ID, which includes county or municipality)
• Valid international passport
• Valid immigration ID (i.e. Resident Alien Card)
• Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

A RPSC badge is not considered a government-issued photo ID.

For non-U.S. trainees who do not have a valid U.S. state or government form of identification, the first six digits of the non-U.S. passport numbers preceded by zeros will be entered into the database.

Per our owners, we are obligated to test according to their requirements. Please check the Site Requirements for testing requirements. Requirements are listed in the description for each Site Specific class on the HASC Training page website. Only plant representatives can make exceptions to these requirements. You must ask them to send a fax giving permission to test “with assistance” to RPSC prior to registering your personnel.

We no longer offer Basic Plus since Safety Essentials Suite is the industry-preferred safety training class that meets Process Safety Management (PSM) compliance standards. It is designed to provide comprehensive, standardized training recognized across over 40 councils nationwide.

RPSC registrations will be considered active for 5 days or until they are cancelled by the registering company. Note that RPSC does not charge for ‘No-Shows’. If you will not be able to attend class for more than the 5 days of allotted time your company will have to resubmit the registration.

Per OSHA Compliance Encyclopedia, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120(e) Training (3) Initial training.

(i) General site workers (such as equipment operators, general laborers and supervisory personnel) engaged in hazardous substance removal or other activities with exposure or potential exposure of workers to hazardous substances and health hazards shall receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction off the site, and a minimum of three days actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained experienced supervisor.

(ii) Workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task (such as, but not limited to, groundwater monitoring, land surveying, or geophysical surveying) and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of instruction off the site, and the minimum of one day actual field experience under the direct supervision of a trained, experienced supervisor.

Some courses are not held regularly, but are available by appointment for a minimum of 5 students. In addition, courses can be arranged outside of regular business hours when needed. Please contact Customer Service at 956-928-1967 or via email at customerservice@rioplexsafetycouncil.com for information on setting up special classes.

Unfortunately, our system does not show the actual time the employee checked in or the time they checked out. You can only estimate the time spent here by the number of classes completed and the approximate testing time for each of those classes. Multimedia classes are self-paced, so although there is a minimum completion time for all CBT courses, the time will vary with each individual.

Most of the training offered here at the Council is renewable annually, with the expiration date stated on the Council ID badge.

Yes, provided your employee can present a current ID badge showing this training from another ARSC member safety council. Please have your student bring their badge showing the training with them to RPSC.

The only training here that involves certification is CPR, 40 and 24 hour HAZWOPER, Safeland/Safegulf and Hazmat DOT. We also offer the OSHA 10 hour General and Construction Industry Outreach Course and the 30 hour Construction Industry Outreach Course and the trainee will receive a card from OSHA stating they have completed the course. The remainder of safety training courses and site-specific courses are on an awareness level only. Your employee is issued an RPSC picture ID badge showing name, last four digits of their social security number, the course code, expiration date and test method.

If the date for refresher training has lapsed, the need to repeat initial training must be determined based on the employee’s familiarity with safety and health procedures used on site. The employee should take the next availably refresher training course. “There should be a record in the employee’s file indicating why the training has been delayed and when the training will be completed.”

We do not furnish any material to prep your employees for testing here. There are several places that have excellent training material you can purchase for use in your safety training. Try your local U.S. government bookstore or OSHA office.

ARSC member councils are councils whose training meets the standards set for certain non-site-specific courses such as Basic Plus. (Additional courses will be added in the future). These courses are transferable from one member council to another. Your employee does not have to retake a transferable course if he has passed the course within the year at an ARSC member council. For more information on ARSC and a list of member councils and transferable courses visit their website at http://www.arsc.net/ to view an Adobe Acrobat document containing a list of ARSC councils and their reciprocal class codes.
