Do you have employees who could become more valuable to your business by updating their health and safety leadership skills?

Encourage them to enroll in WECA's "Health and Safety Leadership" course, in partnership with WECA educational partner ClickSafety, to gain 16 hours of California Electrician or VDV/FLS Technician Continuing Education for successful completion.

In this course, students focus on development of selected “competent person” skills, as well as expanded knowledge of NFPA 70E requirements.

This course provides students with competent person training in the areas of excavations and fall prevention.
