These include The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT). Due to the emphasis on safety and health we have a contract with a registered Safety Engineer. Responsibilities of the Safety Engineer include regularly scheduled safety meetings, development and maintenance of the Company Safety Manual, related documentation and communication with customers.

Most of the products and services provided by Linco-Electromatic, Inc. are covered in guidelines offered by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
