Organizations and Accreditations

Western International Gas & Cylinders Inc., participates in a program called “OSHCON.” This program helps us assure that we are operating within the regulations of OSHA. This is a voluntary participation program and at no expense to the company requesting the inspection. Professional Inspectors that are certified by OSHA come into our facilities and do Safety and Health inspections. They check everything from the cleanliness of the workplace, safety guards in place, proper tools, PPE, policies and procedures as they relate to an employee’s work assignment and the facility work areas. They ask the employees questions about their work environment and safety policies of the company. There are many benefits to a program such as OSHCON.

  1. The employees are a part of the inspection and take pride in their work areas and knowledge of their job.
  2. It helps the employer be assured that regulatory requirements are being met within your facilities.
  3. If deficiencies are found, you agree upon a designated time in which to correct them. With OSHCON there are no fines assessed and OSHA does not get involved unless a severe hazard is not corrected that could endanger employees.
  4. This is a voluntary participation program at no cost to the employer.
  5. It helps us assure that our company is and truly remains a “SAFETY FIRST” organization.

At Western International, we are proud to participate in a variety of local and nationwide organizations committed to maintaining quality and excellence in our respective industry.
