COVID-19 NOTICE: Out of an abundance of caution and to accommodate those who are unable to travel, OSHA will temporarily waive the training requirement for new SGEs beyond one year of their application being approved if they are unable to complete the training due to class cancelation. When classes resume, new SGEs would be permitted a grace period reflecting the time period needed to resume their scheduled SGE class. We will continue to monitor the situation related to COVID-19 and follow-up with information about rescheduling these SGE classes in the future. Please refer to our schedule of SGE classes for the most up-to-date information regarding the classes.
