Total Safety Welcomes Payne Services, Inc. (PSI) to the Family.
Houston - June 15,  2007

Exciting changes continue to take place at Total Safety. On June 15th,
Total Safety U.S., Inc. acquired  Payne  Services, Inc. (PSI).  Payne
Services’ primary  lines  of  business  include  safety  personnel and
observers, confined space attendants,  safety training,  and contract
industrial  hygienists.  The  company  was  founded in 1989 and has
service  locations in Donaldsonville, LAPasadena, TX, and  Corpus
Christi
, TX,  which  further  complements Total Safety’s  presence on
the Gulf Coast. 

    


“We are very excited about Payne Services joining the Total Safety family.  The business lines Payne delivers are extremely complementary to the safety services Total Safety provides and will further broaden our service offering,” said David E. Fanta, Chief Executive Officer of Total Safety.  “The combination of Payne’s personnel services management system and Total Safety’s extensive sales network will allow us to grow the business globally and meet the expectations of customers as they seek enhanced integrated safety solutions in today’s active market.”

 “The opportunity to combine Payne’s safety services with Total Safety’s global presence was too appealing to ignore.  The petrochemical and refining industry will no longer have to hire multiple safety contractors for their turnaround and maintenance safety needs,” said Robbie Payne, Vice President of Payne Services.  “I am even more excited to join such a well respected industry leader and look forward to continuing to provide the highest level of service to our clients.”


The combination of these two well respected companies and their management and employee teams will continue to allow us to meet the expectations of our customers and further provide our enhanced safety service solutions. Our number one goal is to make this change as smooth as possible and to continue to execute our mission, "to ensure the safe Wellbeing of Workers Worldwide".
