This summer’s course offerings include:

HOISTING: The state of Massachusetts requires continuing education every 2 years for hoisting licenses.

FORKLIFT: OSHA requires that all certified forklift operators be evaluated every three years. If you are taking the forklift for the first time or your certification has expired, you will need to take a practical exam in addition to the 4-hour class.

HAZMAT REFRESHER: A mandatory annual course for maintaining a valid HAZMAT OSHA-approved certificate.

CDL: A course designed to assist members with permits to obtain their Commercial Driver’s License with the Registry of Motor Vehicles. *Please send a copy of your permit and D.O.T. to the Training Center in Canton to be placed on a waiting list.

Thank you for doing your part.
