We do have skills upgrade classes but only the safety classes qualify. We didn't have a experation on our OSHA 10 class for the longest time but as of 1/1/08 we started having them expire after 5 years. We got some complaints but that was minor and has passed.

We have added a foreman training class that is an eight hour course that counts for two. Question: Are you having trouble getting your Journeyman in for upgrade training? Or for Star? Any ideas how to get them in? __________________ Bill Hines Coordinator FTI DC78 Orlando FL View Member ProfileSend Private MessageSend EmailFind Member's Threads Find Member's Posts DC58Painter Registered: 09/14/08 Posts: 2      10/21/08 at 10:39 PM #4 Here at DC58 we just had our first STAR Award Picnic on Sept. 27. We had a good turnout considering it was our first run. As far as work hours go, we require 800 safe work hours to qualify. Our Award program is set up into four tiers: Tier 1 being the lowest and Tier 4 being the highest. To be eligible for Tier 1 you have to have 800 safe work hours and one safety class, Tier 2 is two safety classes + 800 safe work hours, Tier 3 is three safety classes + 800 safe work hours and Tier 4 is four or more safety classes + 800 safe work hours. We do not count skill/upgrade training towards the program. As far as the life of the OSHA, we recommend that members renew yearly. Some plants, refineries and contractors have site specific rules that require employees to have yearly updated cards(OSHA, Lead, scaffold/lift etc) This is the basic outline for our program. If you need any more info about our setup, email me. Hope this helps... __________________ Steve Wayland Organizer/Instructor District Council #58 940 California Ave. Collinsville, IL 62234 Ph# (618)345-6646 Previous Thread | Next Thread Reply   Bookmarks    Digg  del.icio.us  StumbleUpon  Google
