Providing Classes in English and Spanish Languages
The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has
announced it has been awarded a $137,000 grant through the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) Susan Harwood Training Grant program. The
grant will enable NRCA to continue to conduct its successful Roofing Industry
Fall Protection A to Z course free of charge for a year and will include
classes taught in Spanish.
“NRCA is acutely concerned with preventing roof-related
falls. This OSHA grant has been and continues to be vital to that
pursuit,” says Tom Shanahan, NRCA’s associate executive director of risk
management. “It allows for one-on-one hands-on fall protection and
prevention training that is importantly roofing-specific.”
Classes Packed With Information
Roofing Industry Fall Protection A to Z is a one-day class
that provides updates on fall-protection systems and includes current OSHA
state-plan requirements. It also features hands-on equipment demonstrations and
techniques for self-rescue and relief of suspension trauma.
NRCA will conduct 12 classes in eight cities, including four
classes in Spanish. An announcement of class dates and locations is
