In 2001, after retiring with 35+ years within the petroleum industry, Harvey Malcom felt there was a need to educate drivers on emergency response. He developed the ASERT Fire and Spills Program to ensure all drivers had the knowledge necessary to respond to any emergency situation. Today, the ASERT Program has proven itself to be a crucial part in maintaining safety standards as well as increasing awareness on Fire and Spills safety through out many different industries.
