IAMU will be offering a Gas “Boot Camp” Operator Qualification Training Workshop April 1st-5th, 2019 at the IAMU Training & Office Complex.
This workshop is designed to give personnel new to the natural gas industry all of the basic fundamentals needed to aid in the day-to-day operations as well as the ability to perform certain "On-Call" tasks.
In addition, any office personnel who may receive a report of a natural gas leak (Dispatch personnel) should attend to obtain all the qualifications that are needed to perform their duties.
This workshop is also beneficial to natural gas operators who are looking to gain additional training, re-qualify on tasks offered, as well as providing a great opportunity to network with other operators from around the State addressing problems, concerns, techniques, etc.

IAMU will hold a Trenching and Shoring Competent Person Workshop from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on March 21 at the IAMU Training and Office Complex.
OSHA requires a competent person be onsite at every excavation. The competent person is required to evaluate site safety and resolve existing and potential hazards.
This workshop is designed for city and utility employees and outside contractors employed by a city, or anyone working in a trenching and shoring situation. It is an excellent opportunity to become qualified as a competent person (or stay current with the responsibilities).
The DNR has approved 0.6 CEUs for WD and WW only.
The training received will cover the overall requirements of the law, including:
- Employee Safety
- Dealing with traffic
- Soil identification
- Emergency equipment
- Determining if shoring is needed
- Proper methods of trenching and shoring
Contact the contractors that work for your city/utility and encourage them to register and attend. For more information or to register, click here.
