OSHA Compliance Training

March 5-7
CSIA CEUs: Pending

Safety first! Due to the very nature of our industry, chimney and venting technicians need to know a lot about safety on the job - both in a home and at the shop. As technology evolves and safety regulations change, we know that many companies have a lot of questions about finding the most effective way to keep their team safe and better understand related safety regulations.

Safety Through Compliance. To help answer these questions, CSIA has worked with partners to develop an Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Compliance Training course. Learning the hands-on safety techniques in this course will help you you and your team perform their important jobs more safely and meet the requirements set by OSHA.

This class will help you identify and reduce the risks associated with the common safety hazards found in the chimney and venting industry - on the job and in the shop. You will also learn to write effective safety plans for the topics covered in this course for you and your team.
