About Academy Security Training

Academy Security Training in Torrance has built its reputation on practical, hands-on instruction that prepares workers for real workplace situations. The team brings experience from law enforcement, emergency management, and occupational safety backgrounds, which means training sessions reflect what actually happens in the field rather than just what's in a textbook. They're well-rated by past clients for being organized and thorough. Beyond security training, they consult with employers on workplace violence prevention, emergency response planning, and safety compliance. The South Bay has a dense mix of industries, from aerospace and logistics to healthcare and hospitality, and Academy's consultants have worked across most of them. They understand that safety programs need to be built for the specific environment where people are working.

How They Can Help

Academy Security Training offers a practical mix of safety consulting and workforce training. On the consulting side, they help employers develop workplace violence prevention plans, active threat response protocols, and emergency action plans that meet Cal/OSHA requirements. They also conduct workplace safety assessments focused on security vulnerabilities and hazard identification. Their training catalog is where they particularly stand out. They offer OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 certification courses for construction and general industry, first aid and CPR, active shooter response, de-escalation and conflict resolution, and fire safety. Many clients bring them in to fulfill OSHA training requirements while also building skills employees can actually use. Group sessions can be scheduled on-site at your facility or at their Torrance location. They also offer guard card training and security licensing courses, which makes them a useful resource for businesses building or managing their own security staff. Custom training programs are available for clients with specific needs.

What to Expect

For consulting engagements, they start with a site assessment to understand the physical environment, workforce, and existing protocols. That feeds into a gap analysis against applicable Cal/OSHA standards and any industry-specific requirements. From there, they develop written plans or programs and schedule training to go along with them. Training engagements are simpler to get started. You pick the course, they confirm the date and location, and they handle the materials and certification paperwork. For on-site training, they usually need about two weeks lead time to coordinate logistics. For compliance consulting, expect a four to six week timeline for a full program development engagement, though they can expedite if there's an OSHA deadline or inspection driving urgency. They're flexible on scheduling and used to working around shift schedules in 24-hour operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is California's workplace violence prevention requirement?
Cal/OSHA's workplace violence prevention standard, which took effect July 1, 2024, requires most California employers to have a written workplace violence prevention plan, maintain a violent incident log, and provide training to employees. Most employers outside of certain exemptions are covered.
Is OSHA 10 required by law?
OSHA 10 isn't universally required by federal or state law, but it's commonly required by construction contracts, public works projects, and some industry associations. Check your contracts and any applicable industry requirements before assuming it's optional.
Can you do on-site training at our facility?
Yes. For groups of ten or more, on-site delivery is usually more cost-effective and convenient than sending employees off-site. They need about two weeks lead time and a suitable meeting space.
How long are OSHA certification cards valid?
OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 cards don't officially expire, but many employers and contractors require refresher training every few years. Check the specific requirements in your contracts or industry agreements.
Do you offer training in Spanish?
Contact them directly to confirm current Spanish-language training availability, as this varies by course and scheduling.
What does a workplace violence prevention plan need to include?
Under Cal/OSHA's standard, it needs a written plan covering hazard identification and correction, a violent incident log, and employee training. The plan must be specific to your workplace, not a generic template.
Can you help us after an OSHA inspection?
Yes. They can help you understand citations, develop corrective action documentation, and implement the changes needed to abate violations and avoid repeat findings.
How do I know which training my employees need?
Start with your industry, job classifications, and any contract or permit requirements. Academy's consultants can help you map out what's legally required versus what's a risk-reduction best practice, so you can prioritize based on actual need.
