Subject: Public Works Jobs Requiring 10 Hour OSHA Certification

In July 2007, Governor Elliot Spitzer signed legislation mandating that all contractors who are awarded public works contracts of $250,000.00 or more may only employ job site personnel that have completed the 10 hour OSHA construction safety and health training class.  This legislation will go into effect in July 2008.

In order to meet this requirement, I am asking you to reach out to your membership and encourage them to register for this training.  The Labor Technical College will schedule additional 10 hour OSHA courses in order to insure that our members are certified and that the New York District Council of Carpenters maintains its jurisdiction in the workplace.

To register, members must call the Labor Technical College at (212) 727-2224.  Members will be scheduled for training on a 'first come, first served' basis.

Don't wait for the law to go into effect in July 2008.  Register now and receive your certification to be employed on public works jobs in the future.
