Alford began more than 10 years ago as a small
inspection company, Alford Inspection, Inc. Service being our
ultimate goal Alford Inspection was renamed Alford Services, Inc. With
our offshore experience and seeing the need Alford Services, Inc. began to
concentrate our efforts on safety related personnel and equipment. In
2000, this led to the inception of Alford Safety Services, Inc. (ASSI).
ASSI, primarily focused on safety equipment mostly gas detection. With increasing regulations on minimum
training requirements, Alford, was unsatisfied with the level of training
it was receiving from its vendors. ASSI constructed a Safety Training
Facility and taught its first class on New Years Eve December 31st 2001.
With service in mind, Alford kept investing in its Safety Training
Facility and has become the largest in the Gulf South. Alford has expanded
its safety training to 3 facilities servicing Through the years, ASSI
also witnessed many advances in gas detection. Alford Safety Services
Inc., through its’ HAZTEC division is the industry leader in hot work
enclosure construction and computerized control system operation and has
safely and successfully constructed and controlled several hundred hot
work enclosures world-wide. The HAZTEC System conforms to all
applicable laws, regulations, rules and guidelines of Federal, State and
Local agencies governing hot work conducted at potentially hazardous
sites. The HAZTEC System is comprised of a enclosure, which can be
composed of hard or soft materials, in which the hot work is performed,
and a computerized monitoring and data acquisition system in conjunction
with a control and shutdown system. The hot work (not the platform)
is automatically shut down in the event of a hazardous situation involving
combustible or flammable gases. The HAZTEC System employs a
hierarchical rule set to perform safe monitoring and control of hazardous
areas – effectively eliminating “shut-in” time of projects,
maintenance or repairs. HAZTEC tm is now being offered in 5
countries across the world. Alford secured all 3 related patents regarding
to this technology. ASSI has also expanded its services to offer several other safety related fields including Paramedic, EMT and First Responders. Alford also expanded by adding a Drug & Alcohol Collection Site, Facility and Vessel Security Inspections. This lead to the incorporation of Alford Safety and Compliance, LLC. Mr. Alford and the management team at Alford feel that through hard work, vision and a team effort that Alford will continue to be leaders in the industry. |
