Hands-On, Instructor-Led Workplace Safety Training — With College Credit

📍 1835 Terminal Drive, Suite 130 Richland, WA 99354

The Only Workplace Training Center in the Area Offering College Credit

Three Nails Safety Group is proud to partner with Columbia Southern University to offer college credit for select safety and health training courses.

We are currently the only training provider in the Tri-Cities region offering instructor-led workplace safety courses that may be eligible for college credit, helping workers:

Advance toward an associate’s or bachelor’s degree
Strengthen career qualifications
Increase long-term employability
Gain value beyond standard certificates

This allows workers and employers to invest in training that counts not only for compliance — but for education and career advancement.

College credit availability varies by course and is offered through our partnership with Columbia Southern University.

Why We Opened the Workplace Training Center

The Tri-Cities workforce has long needed a one-stop training center where workers and employers can access high-quality, instructor-led safety courses in one location.

Too often, workers are limited to online-only or computer-based training that does not fully prepare them for the demands of industrial, construction, radiological, and high-risk work environments.

At the same time, employers need training solutions that:

Meet regulatory and contractual requirements
Prepare workers for job readiness
Demonstrate a real commitment to worker safety

Three Nails Safety Group was created to fill this gap.

Built for Hanford and Industrial Workforce Readiness

Our programs are designed to support workers seeking qualifications for Hanford Site work and other industrial environments.

Our instructors bring over 50 years of combined experience working on the Hanford Site, along with deep expertise in occupational safety, health, and radiological operations.

Training focuses on:

Regulatory compliance
Practical application
Hazard recognition
Worker readiness

Expert-Led Instruction You Can Trust

Training at the Workplace Training Center is led by:

Dr. Paul Nims, PhD, CSP, CHST

and a team of highly qualified guest instructors.

Our instructional team includes:

PhD-level occupational safety and health professionals
Certified Safety Professionals (CSP)
Construction Health and Safety Technicians (CHST)
Navy Nuclear–qualified instructors
Experienced Hanford and industrial site professionals

This level of expertise allows us to deliver training that goes beyond check-the-box compliance.

Instructor-Led Training — Not Just Computer-Based Courses

We believe safety training should be interactive, hands-on, and instructor-led whenever possible.

Our full-time Workplace Training Center provides:

Live classroom instruction
Hands-on learning opportunities
Small class sizes
Direct access to instructors
A professional training environment

This approach helps employers remain compliant while clearly demonstrating that they value worker safety.
