RENEW YOUR OSHA 10 OR 30
OSHA does not put an expiration date on OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 cards. However, it is still the responsibility of the employer to provide it’s employees with a safe and healthful workplace. With that being said, many of our general contractors are requiring that your OSHA 10 and or OSHA 30 not be older than 3 years old. At the training center we will be providing monthly courses in either OSHA 10 or 30 so that we can meet these needs. I caution workers from signing up with some of these online OSHA 10 an OSHA 30 courses. Many of these online courses will not produce a certification card from the Dept. of Labor. They will give you a certificate of completion of that course which is not the same as an “OSHA CARD”
If you can not make one of our classes and need to update this card I would recommend this site: https://mustondemand.puresafety.com/Ondemand/Home

Medical Marijuana in Ohio:
| Medical Marijuana in Ohio: |
| On September 6, 2016, medical marijuana will become legal in the State of Ohio. The Northwest Ohio Great Lakes Construction Alliance (NWOGLCA) would like to clarify that even though it will be legal in Ohio to use medical marijuana, it will not be acceptable when testing for their substance abuse program. If you test and you are positive under the panel that identifies marijuana and have a legitimate prescription for medical marijuana, you will still be considered non-current.
This will result in a suspension until you go through the process to become current again. This is expressly allowed in the new law and a legal overview is attached. The NWOGLCA is releasing this notice so no participant believes it is acceptable to use medical marijuana while they are working under requirements to be current with the NWOGLCA Substance Abuse Policy. We strongly encourage communication to employees who need to be current under the policy. The NWOGLCA does not want to see employees caught up in a miscommunication. Again, if you use medical marijuana or marijuana of any type, it is a violation of the substance abuse policy which will lead to a non-current status with a suspension.
