HAZMAT Local Union Instructors Achieve OSHA Master Trainer and Safety and Health Specialist Certificates WHY WOULD INSTRUCTORS pursue OSHA recognitions that require a minimum of 160 hours of training? Because these recognitions validate a high level of professional development that enables instructors to meet changes in workforce requirements and the needs of working safety professionals. The OSHA Certificate program provides instructors with a solid background in OSHA regulatory compliance requirements and complex occupational safety and health issues. This program has been designed by experienced safety and health professionals and includes training in key areas. Core courses give a strong foundation in the fundamentals of occupational safety and health. Elective courses enable instructors to focus on the specialized needs of their workplace. The IUOE NTF’s National HAZMAT Program congratulates the following 8 IUOE instructors who have recently achieved the OSHA Master Trainer Status from West Virginia University’s National Resource Center for OSHA Training. • Keith Adolf, Local Union 825 • Bobby Barwick, Turner Job Corps • Hamona Dowell, Local Union 3 • Kenneth Keirn, Local Union 158 • Rodney Piper, Local Union 825 • William Selzer, Local Union 181 • Hugh Snow, Local Union 4 • Darryl Wagler, Atterbury Job Corps The National HAZMAT Program also congratulates the following 3 IUOE instructors who have recently achieved the OSHA Safety and Health Specialist Certificate from West Virginia University’s National Resource Center for OSHA Training.
