The Caldwell Regional Career Center has recently completed the training course for 42 students to receive an OSHA 10 certification in construction.
This course is offered annually to mainly Seniors and some Juniors on the criteria required by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The course is taught by Greg Creekmur who is a certified OSHA instructor through Eastern Kentucky University. To receive his certification to teach he had to meet the criteria required by the national organization and spend 2 weeks on campus to be trained and pass the tests to be an Authorized Construction Trainer.
Creekmur says local students must attend 7 days in the classroom and pass quizzes to qualify.
