WHAT MEMBERS & CLASS PARTICIPANTS SAY:

  • Thank you for visiting Hexagon Agility in July to present on heat safety. Your expertise left our attendees with great information to use at work and home. We look forward to working with you again in the future!
  • Sean thoroughly enjoyed Michael's instruction and teaching! We really appreciate his service of helping young drivers!
  • I just wanted to say thank you for a great experience with Driver Education. It was easy and convenient for Hugh to take the online course with a busy schedule, and his drive time with Jim worked out very well. Thank you especially for your flexibility in allowing him to keep his drive time without another student driver scheduled - it was actually a better experience that way. Your help throughout the entire process has been very much appreciated.
  • Thank you so much. Your QPR presentation yesterday came at exactly the right time. A neighbor dropped by this morning. Your words and guidance were exactly what were needed to communicate. Thank you. I am grateful.
  • On behalf of AGP, we want to thank the Nebraska Safety Council for their hard work, excellent training, and helping our employees learn how to help others in need.
  • The training went very well. All the participants enjoyed John and stated that they got a lot out of his training. I will definitely use the Nebraska Safety Council again! I look forward to working with y’all in the near future.
  • Just wanted to share that Ric gave a great presentation (Recognizing Drug Impairment) yesterday to our OHS clients and hospital staff.
  • Karen - Thank you so much for your time and talent! Your presentation was amazing and I heard nothing but praise. I look forward to your presentation on October 10th to the ENOA staff. We are so blessed to have such great resources in the Omaha area.
  • Ric is very knowledgeable! Incorporates everyone in the classroom. Encourages questions and answers. Great instructor! Great explanations on understanding human behaviors including your own behaviors.
  • We have been a member of the Nebraska Safety Council (WorkWell) since 2011. They have helped us shape and grow our wellness program throughout the years and we have always appreciated their excellent, knowledgeable staff. Having a network to draw ideas from is an awesome added benefit of being a member.
  • This was a very informational class. Marge and the staff were great! I truly believe Marge does want to see people get better and better themselves.
  • I just want to say that your class still resonates with me and I have had a mindset change in not only my lifestyle, but how I respect the responsibility when driving.
  • When it comes to safety, the Nebraska Safety Council is always my first contact. My questions can be answered by phone or email. The courses provide useful information and real life situations that match our company’s needs. Their knowledge and expertise has helped our company become more efficient and effective in mitigating and eliminating safety risks. From training to safety concerns, the Nebraska Safety Council is there to help.
  • Green Quest Recycling has used the Nebraska Safety Council as our safety coordinator since 2016. They are extremely knowledgeable in OSHA rules and regulations. The Nebraska Safety Council has created and implemented a very compelling safety program for us. Our team could not be more assured in the well-being of our employees, customers, and the general public. We highly recommend The Nebraska Safety Council to any company seeking assistance in protecting their crew, company, customers, and the public from the vulnerability of any industry.
  • My wife was in a smoking cessation program and had been doing health coaching calls for the past year. She has not smoked in almost a full year. My grandchildren are so happy. Those phone calls are what did if for her to quit. Your calls work, you are reaching people.
  • Nebraska Safety Council has guided us in developing our Wellness Program and has supported us in helping our workforce to make healthier choices. We share their monthly newsletters with our employees and they really enjoy the helpful tips and articles on health, wellness and safety. The health coaches we have worked with are so kind and our employees found them very easy to talk to. We are happy to have the Nebraska Safety Council as a resource for our wellness needs!
  • Sam was a fun, energetic, inclusive and great teacher!
