GLSTC Is
Back In Full Force!

Pursuant to Governor Whitmer's Executive Order #2020-59, GLSTC is considered an "enclosed public space," under item 15a. Our expectation is that you and your employees will follow this order by wearing a face covering while visiting our facility until this order is lifted. Click here for a link to GLSTC's Face Covering FAQ's.
Here's what we are continuing to do for everyone's safety:
- Conducting instructor-led courses to support work at our member locations who are deemed "essential." These classes are limited to ten students, to promote social distancing.
- Installed extra hand sanitizer stations.
- Greatly increased the cleaning and sanitation routines.
- Installed a "sneeze guard" type barrier at the front desk.
- Asking our staff and guests to stay home if sick.
- Asking everyone to maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet.
- Purchased an air scrubber and commercial grade air purifiers for our classrooms and front lobby that run nightly.
We are open
7:00 am - 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday. You may call (989) 837-2332, email
glstc@glstc.org, or email our team directly.
We will get through this together!

- Sun Exposure: Wear sunscreen and follow the directions on the bottle.
- Heat Exposure: Stay hydrated and avoid over heating your body.
- Hot Cars: Don't leave passengers or pets if a vehicle if it will overheat inside.
- Grilling: Always grill outdoors. Never grill indoors, on a balcony, or in the garage.
- Bug Safety: Use insect repellents and wear light colored (full covering) clothing.
- Water Safety: Be aware of electrical hazards in swimming pools, spas, on board boats and in the waters.
- Swimming: Never swim near a marina, dock or a running boat. Never leave children unattended near any body of water and wear life jackets.
