This thread is asking about what 'other' qualifications are there, that you need to have to do your job.
I assume we all know about journeyman cards, contractor licenses, and building permits. Yet, recent events suggest that this is but the tip of the iceberg....
For example, I am told that we will all need some form of "lead abatement' certification to do electrical work - with a 'higher' qualification required if we're going to actually work with, say, walls that have lead paint on them.
Then I hear about some manner of 'OSHA certification" needed to do solar power.
Not to forget our old friend asbestos. It seems that there are, again, multiple levels of certification.
ALL of these, I am told, call for annual renewal, testing,and - naturally - attending expensive seminars EVERY year.
So... do you have any specific information to share? I'm looking for:
1) What other certifications you may know of;
2) Who issues the certification;
3) Citations of the exact source of these requirements; and,
4) The scope of the requirements.
I seek your information .... but,please .... let's not go off on tangents debating the wisdom of these rules; those discussions are for another thread.
