The remaining 40% are currently studying to take the certification exam. Recognizing our dedication to excellence in the safety, health, and environmental profession as a Diamond Certification Champion, BCSP produced this video recognizing our long-standing commitment to creating a safer workplace by championing professional credentialing.

Yes, the National Safety Council awarded ATS with the prestigious Robert W. Campbell award that recognizes leading companies that have attained business excellence through the integration of environment, health, and safety.
Internally, we have a President’s Award for Safety Excellence that team sites work toward each year.

How does ATS ensure I get the right technicians with the right skills?
Before any ATS technician arrives at your plant, they are evaluated through a technical skills assessment to baseline their current skillsets. Then, we tailor the curriculum to develop their skillset along with additional mentorship to ensure they’re ready to support your plant’s specific equipment. With decades of training experience and technical expertise, we know how to carefully craft a plan to get the right technicians with the right skills to make your factory run better.
Will ATS technicians integrate with our existing maintenance team?
Our technicians are trained not just on equipment but also in communication and collaboration. This means these skilled workers can fit right into your operations and serve as seamless extensions of your current team, following your processes and priorities while also bringing a wealth of additional technical support and knowledge.
