[RE-wrenches] OSHA Certification?

[Ray Walters]

HI All;

I just received an email from a company offering OSHA training for solar 
installers. A good idea, but they claimed you need a 10 hr certification 
just to work as a solar installer. I have never heard of this, so did I 
install a couple of hundred systems illegally?

Here's a quote from the email: "Photovoltaic work includes working at 
heights and with electricity. Due to the nature of the work, a minimum 
of an OSHA 10-Hr certification is required to be employed in the field 
of photovoltaics. "

This is either:
A) a scam trying to scare me into signing up for their class
B) a new requirement I wasn't aware of
C) a long standing requirement not being enforced

Fill me in oh wise ones,
