onlinetrainingNUCA OFFERS OSHA 10 AND 30 HOUR ONLINE TRAINING COURSES  
 
The OSHA 10 and 30 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Courses are voluntary training programs intended to train workers in the basics of safety and health hazard recognition and prevention. The curriculum for these programs is supplied and approved by OSHA. Only approved trainers and online training programs are authorized to provide this training to workers and the OSHA completion cards often required by owners and general contractors. Many states are requiring that all workers have a minimum of 10 hours of OSHA-approved safety training. In some situations,  project managers and supervisors must complete the 30 hour training.

NUCA now offers this training online. The courses are available in both English and Spanish and in addition to the construction course, the NUCA online training also offers general industry courses.  NUCA's online program gives students the flexibility to take one module at a time, rather than all at once; as long as all modules are completed within six months. Following completion, students will receive an OSHA Certificate in the form of a wallet card.  Click here for the training details and to order.  As always, NUCA members will receive a members-only discount on these training products!

 

NUCA logoNUCA PROFIT PIPELINE ROUNDTABLES OPEN TO ALL EXPO '11 REGISTRANTS!  

You asked and NUCA answered!  This year, the "Profit-Pipeline Roundtable" discussion program is open to all registered attendees - no additional fees required!  The Roundtables are an executive-level peer-networking experience for construction company owners and senior managers.  Participants will exchange  knowledge and insights with non-competing executives, returning with practical business solutions to improve their bottom line.   Participants will join each other at networking roundtables comprised of 6 to 8 non-competing utility construction and excavation executives and senior employees with the suppliers and manufacturing companies within our industry.  Each Roundtable will discuss revenue-enhancing opportunities and cost-control strategies relevant to profitability.  Sample topics include fuel efficiency solutions, health insurance cost controls, unique safety incentive plans, financial management and estimating and bidding strategies, among many others.  All participants will be heard and will have an opportunity to bring their own unique challenges and questions to the table.  Active participation and confidentiality is expected of all registrants.  
 
"The Profit Pipeline works. Last year,  I picked up an estimating strategy from a fellow NUCA member.  Once I got home, we put it to use on one of our bids and sure enough we were successful.  I look forward to picking up the next "nugget" of information that will make us a more successful contractor." Ryan Schmitt - Petticoat-Schmitt Civil Contractors, Inc. Jacksonville, FL. 

The Profit-Pipeline Roundtables will take place on Friday, January 21, 2011, immediately following the EXPO '11 morning speaker.  Click here for all of the EXPO '11 details.
