No Show Policy

Please remember to sign up online for classes. There is a $15.00 charge for anyone that has to be registered at Third Coast Safety (or if classes have to be changed). As we get into our busy season, we will be restricted to if and when we can register you for classes. Cancellation/Absent fees are $25.00 and will be enforced if not cancelled before 3:00pm of the business day prior to the day of training.

Policies on Special Assistance

Non-readers
Third Coast Safety accepts registrations for persons who are unable to read or who have reading comprehension difficulty – specifically, people who must have tests read to them. At no extra charge, we can have one of our classroom assistants provide the service. The trainee may request this help, but only after hearing a clear announcement by the instructor that a passing grade achieved with reading assistance results in the awarding of an ID badge which identifies the worker as a non-reader. The trainee must also understand that contractors often deny employment to non-readers because many plants do not accept them. This training is not accepted by other ARSC members.

Non-English
We do have some training courses in Spanish. Such registrants are informed that some plants do not allow workers in their plants who cannot read English.

Hearing Impaired
Third Coast Safety will accept registration of a hearing impaired person, provided the enrollee can personally arrange for an interpreter at his/her own expense. The interpreter must first undergo “Initial Orientation” and achieve a passing grade. He/she will then be allowed to interpret – but may not assist while the trainee is taking the written test.

Policy on Failed Evaluations
It is the policy of the Third Coast Safety that people who fail a course evaluation (any subject/course) must re-take the training program and evaluation. The person may re-take the training program as soon as the next business day, but the company/person will be assessed the appropriate course fee. If the person fails the evaluation a second time, the person would not be allowed to take that the class or evaluation for thirty (30) days. If the person fails the evaluation a third time, the person would not be allowed to take the test for 90 days.
