Our courses are taught by dual-CSHO holding, UTA-authorized trainers with over 35 years of combined commercial construction and military Quality Assurance experience.

At Ascendant Safety Services, we understand the reality of federal and commercial contracting:
🏛️USACE/DoD Compliance: Federal prime contractors must maintain fully qualified, well-trained SSHOs (Site Safety and Health Officers), and subcontractors must have verified Competent Persons on every site.
🚫Zero-Downtime Focus: Non-compliant workers mean immediate job site shutdowns—costing you thousands of dollars every single day in delay penalties and lost productivity.
