About Double Action

Double Action works with companies of all sizes, but focuses on smaller businesses that need assistance with developing or maintaining a safety program. For businesses that may not have the infrastructure to warrant hiring a full-time Safety Manager, Double Action offers a cost effective alternative because the services can be contracted on an “as needed” basis rather than maintaining the overhead of additional employees.

When considering the crushing costs of accidents, injuries, fines and litigation; making an investment into high caliber training from Double Action is a sensible approach to mitigating this risk.

DOUBLE ACTION OFFERS CONSULTATIVE SERVICES IN:

  • Plan Development

  • ​Document Preparation

  • Workplace Safety Inspections​​

  • Worker Awareness Training

  • Competent Person Training​​​​

  • OSHA 10 & 30 hour

About Mark

Mark Nelson was born on an island in Southeast Alaska, raised in a rustic, pragmatic culture. His upbringing was diverse; with 8 mismatched siblings and his “odd-couple” parents, (his Mom born in New York and his Dad, an older Midwestern farmer). Mark is a true realist with an analytical approach, and unprejudiced perspective on debatable issues.

Throughout his childhood, Mark worked with his Dad who operated a small general contracting company. He also spent three years working in a shipyard performing heavy industrial work. Yet, in his early twenties, he began working in business-to- business consulting which kick-started his training career. Although Mark stayed involved in his family’s construction business until it closed in 2005, he furthered his education in business administration and instruction. Throughout the past decade, he has focused on occupational safety consulting and administering corporate safety programs.

As an instructor, he has spoken to hundreds of audiences, training thousands of workers in multiple aspects of commerce. Aiming for legal compliance, Mark excels in assisting businesses develop and maintain policies and procedures which are practical and effective.

His formal education includes a Master's degree in Business Administration, a vocational certification in Criminal Justice, and two vocational certifications in Occupational Safety and Health. Best of all, Mark has an animated sense of humor and brings an unparalleled energy to his meetings.
