General information

In 1997, Alford Inspection Inc. was founded as a small inspection company. Later renamed Alford Services, Inc. (ASI) in 2000, ASI began to concentrate on safety related services, personnel and equipment.

Soon thereafter, Alford Safety Services Inc. (ASSI) was born. The lack of adequate safety training in the area led ASSI to develop its first safety training facility. A continued dedication to safety has enabled ASSI to become the largest safety training provider in the Gulf South.

The Alford family continued expansion incorporating Alford Safety and Compliance (ASC) in 2006. This new addition provides both regulatory and medical compliance services.

The Alford group was acquired in 2008 by Falck, the world's largest international assistance, emergency, healthcare and training provider. In 2013 Falck Alford was renamed Falck Safety Services (FSS). As part of the Falck family, FSS operates under the training division of Falck, Falck Nutec. Falck Nutec, a world leader in Health, Safety, Survival training and consultancy services has been servicing the oil and gas, shipping, renewable energy, military and aviation industries worldwide for over 3 decades. Falck operates across 6 continents with 32 training facilities including ours.

Falck Safety Services headquarters office is located in Houma, LA, just south of New Orleans. Additional US training facilities are located in:
