METI Offers two new Courses; Erosion/Sediment Control and Fleet Vehicle Safety!

We have recently developed and delivered two new safety training courses:

Fleet Vehicle Safety Training

Fleet vehicles are groups of motor vehicles owned or leased by a business, government agency or other organization rather than by an individual or family.

Typical examples are vehicles operated by car rental companies, taxicab companies, public utilities, public bus companies, and police departments.

Fleet Vehicle Safety Training is intended to reinforce the knowledge and skills that drivers of fleet vehicles possess, and on which they base their professional driving attitude and behaviors.

Erosion & Sediment Control Training

When someone wants to interact with a watercourse, such as install a crossing, withdrawal water, or add erosion protection, they must follow the rules set in the Activity Designation Regulations and the Nova Scotia Watercourse Alterations Standard.

By taking our Erosion & Sediment Control Training, you will take away principles that lead to sustaining our surface water supply, which in turn supports economic development, sustains health of humans and aquatic ecosystems, protects the environment, and sustains a high quality of life for Nova Scotians.

It was a pleasure for our CEO, Joe Pembroke to represent METI at the CBRH Pediatric Unit.

METI CEO Joe Pembroke and CBRH Pediatric Staff

Earlier in December, we reached out to the great folks at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation to ask what the children and their families would enjoy in the Family Room this Christmas.

METI Safety Training Cape Breton Nova Scotia
In 2013, METI sponsored the renovations and furnishing for the Family Room.

As it turns out, the kids wanted a Nintendo Switch system. Seen here is Joe gifting the kids with their new Switch console and accessories.

Each year, more than 1,800 children are treated at the Regional Hospital’s Pediatrics Unit. Children up to 18 years old are treated for everything from broken bones to serious illnesses, like cancer.

All of us at METI are very proud to support the CBRHF, the Pediatric Staff, the kids, and their families.
