Meet Darcy
In 1998, our company name was WeCare and our logo colors were red and white. My two brothers were call-firefighters in the Town of Auburn, Massachusetts and I was a physical therapist working in the UMass system. My bothers were teaching First aid, CPR classes, part-time, over the summer and their business was growing. My dad suggested I join my brothers and help them build a safety training company.
The Events of 9/11 forever changed our country in many ways. For us, we grew from an emergency management and training company into an occupational, health and safety company for general industry and construction.
By 2007, our youngest brother join the team and took charge of our OSHA Construction Division. We incorporated, and changed the name to Cook Professional Resources, Inc dba Safety Trainers. We service over 20 different industries throughout New England.
Our culture is one based on the way we were raised at children. We still believe in building relationships, handshakes, written thank you notes, please and thank you and your "word" is a contract. Today, we are proud to say that over 60% of our clients have been with us for over 14 years.
