https://www.cpsc.gov/Saf/Safety-Education-Centers/Fireworks Fireworks are synonymous with our celebration of Independence Day. Yet, the thrill of fireworks can also bring pain. On average, 180 people go to the emergency room every day with fireworks-related injuries in the month around the July 4th holiday.

Celebrate July 4 safely!

Trench work is very dangerous, having the proper equipment and proper training is vital to your success in the field. LCPSTC offers custom public safety training to meet your department/agency's needs, just contact us!
