an OSHA person though if they have to furnish the

The 10-hour OSHA course is not (currently) a requirement </span>for
NABCEP's PV Installer certification. However, the NABCEP PV
Technical Sales certification does require the 10 hour OSHA
course as part of the application requirements.<br>
<br>
The UL Certified PV System Installer application requires
proof of having attended the OSHA "30 Hour For Construction"
safety training course.<br>
<br>
The requirement for the 10-hour OSHA course for solar PV
installers could be a state licensing requirement,
particularly those that have a separate solar PV license.<br>

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? <br>
<br>
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. " <br>
<br>
This is either: <br>
A) a scam trying to scare me into signing up for their
class <br>
B) a new requirement I wasn't aware of <br>
C) a long standing requirement not being enforced <br>
<br>
Fill me in oh wise ones, <br>
