Each year the Division of Education and Training presents a series of cost-free courses at major population centers throughout the state.
These courses are for both employers and employees, and are typically given over a one-week period in each population center. The courses are designed to outline the requirements contained in the various subparts of the General Industry and Construction Standards, covering both safety and health issues.
The training sessions will be posted below approximately four weeks prior to each session with the classes available for viewing and online registration.
