📢 Meet Your Instructor: Martin Griffiths
When it comes to safety training, there is a massive difference between an instructor reading from a book and someone who has actually lived it.
Meet our owner and lead instructor, Martin! Martin didn’t build Hot Springs Training and Consulting out of a manual. He brings decades of high-stakes, real-world emergency management directly into the classroom:
Deepwater Horizon Response: Served as the Supply Base Environmental Lead for the Gulf of Mexico during the 2010 disaster—officially the largest marine oil spill in history.
Industrial Safety Leadership: Spent years as an Operations & Area Manager for Heritage Environmental Services, leading response teams through complex hazardous materials incidents and dangerous confined space operations.
Oilfield Operations: Served as a Director of Operations managing heavy-duty energy sector tank cleaning and high-risk confined space entries.Martin is a fully approved, elite instructor certified across the industry’s most respected safety organizations:
Veriforce — We are proud to serve as Central Arkansas’ exclusive public training facility for authorized Veriforce pipeline and industrial compliance!
HSI & American Red Cross🔹 NASP (National Association of Safety Professionals)
AVIRT (Active Violence Incident Response Training)
Why train with Hot Springs Training & Consulting?
Real-World Field Experience: Our lessons are rooted entirely in decades of live field experience. You won't get an instructor just reading out of a textbook here—Martin has the actual, hard-earned background to back up every concept he teaches.
Comprehensive Safety Scopes: From Confined Space Entry/Rescue, OSHA-compliant courses, and advanced HAZWOPER to Active Violence Emergency Response.
A Passion for ALL Family Members: As an avid animal lover, Martin is also fully certified through Pet Emergency Education to teach specialized Pet CPR & First Aid.
“My goal isn't to help you memorize a book just to check a compliance box. I want to give your team the real-world confidence and practical muscle memory to step up and execute safely when seconds count." — Martin
