ADVANCED RED CROSS FIRST AID
Though OSHA requires standard First Aid across all industries, Meridian Blue Construction offers Red Cross Remote Area and Wilderness First Aid as a benefit to its technicians. Since most tower locations are out of range of prompt professional medical attention, Meridian Blue Construction strives to give its technicians the resources to provide prompt care in the unfortunate event of an accident or injury. Meridian Blue Construction is an affiliate provider of the American Red Cross.
We are a proud member of NATE and the NATE STAR initiative.
