It's about much more than toxic spills

We continue to be the leader in Safety, Security, and Privacy training in Ohio.

It takes proper skill, planning, execution, and commitment to create and maintain a safe work environment. The Center for Emergency Preparedness at Cleveland State University can help your company build a safety-training program in compliance with state, federal, and local regulations.

Through our customized OSHA, HAZWOPER, DOT and Business Continuity and Emergency Planning classes and workshops - offered at Cleveland State or at your preferred location - we can help you reach compliance and improve your overall level of safety performance.

We are in the business of education.
We operate on the simple premise that if we produce the results you want, you will give us your business now and in the future.

We focus on you, the customer.
We like to ask questions. We want to learn how you operate, your goals, and the challenges you face. We may also tour facilities. Once we know what you need to accomplish and what conditions exist in your organization, we begin recommending ways to help you.

We offer tools you can use.
We stress real-world application in everything we do. What you'll see is a difference in the office, on the production floor, in the conference room, in the field, and anywhere your employees are working, You'll see them working more safely.

We're here for the long run.
The Center for Emergency Preparedness has been a part of Cleveland State University since 1984. We don't disappear once the project is finished; we're committed to a long-term partnership for as long as you need us.
