Satellite training center at NWACC to debut first courses
NWACC will debut its first two courses this month as part of a consortium of U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Education satellite training centers.
The University of Texas at Arlington selected NWACC this past March as a partner in the venture.
The courses are OSHA 500 for Construction and OSHA 501 for General Industry.
OSHA 500 for Construction uses OSHA’s standards as a guide and is designed for private sector workers interested in developing safety and health programs in the construction industry and gaining effective training techniques with a special emphasis on the most hazardous areas in construction in Northwest Arkansas.
The class meets at Burns Hall May 12 - 15
501 for General Industry presents information on how OSHA provisions may be implemented in the workplace. Worker and employer rights and responsibilities under the OSH Act, the appeals process, recordkeeping, and voluntary protection programs will be covered.
The class also meets at Burns Hall May, 19 - 22.
This new addition by the UT Arlington Division for Enterprise Development will serve safety and health instructional needs of the federal government in Arkansas.
For more information on these classes, contact Cindy Hammons at 479-936-5178 |
