National Demolition Association Holding “Demolition Academy” during 2011 Convention

The National Demolition Association (NDA) will hold its Demolition Academy – an intensive safety and management training event – on March 5-6, prior to the association’s 38th Annual Convention, scheduled for March 5-8 in Las Vegas. The NDA notes that the decision to connect the two events was made to allow “Academy” participants to take advantage of the convention.

The Demolition Academy begins March 5 with a demolition-specific OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health

Administration) 10-Hour Certification. For companies already holding the certification, there is concurrent in-depth training in basic industrial hygiene for the demolition industry, fall protection and developing and using a demolition engineering survey.

The March 6 session provides a continuation of the demolition-specific OSHA Certification of the previous day. The day also offers an option of a full-day management training workshops in generational communicating, OSHA’s new crane standard and a session called “When Disaster Strikes.”

The demolition-specific OSHA 10-Hour Training Certification is taught by certified instructors and is required by many of the industry’s larger clients.
 

This is the 17th year NDA has offered a formal safety training program to the industry. More information on the event is available at www.demolitionassociation.com or by contacting the NDA at info@demolitionassociation.com or (800) 541-2412.
