R. L. Harkins, Inc. encourages continuing education of it's employees, particularly for key personnel.  Leading by example, Superintendents, C.W. Woodard and Barney Villalobos have completed the OSHA 30-Hour Certification Safety Course for the Construction Industry.  This course introduces OSHA policies, procedures and standards as well as construction safety and health principles.
