Courage Safety Systems, LLC., has been very successful in construction & the residential home building industry and quickly took the position as the premier provider of expert safety services and compliance advice to home builders in the west. In addition to providing environmental health and safety services to public companies such as Shell Oil, Centex Homes, Standard Pacific Homes, Toll Brothers, U.S./Lennar, Pulte Homes, The Irvine Company, D.R. Horton, Courage is providing safety services to over 600 employment locations every month. Since AB 1127 was introduced into California law, the multi-employer aspects of safety regulations, on a typical high-hazard construction job site, has become quite challenging. Mike has conducted seminars and workshops to many builders on this subject for the Building Industry Association in Southern California and more recently for the California Building Industry Foundation. Courage has also been selected by The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), in conjunction with Federal OSHA, to provide Safety Training to its building industry members in the western United States.
