Iowa's 2018 Forest Health Highlights Report is Now Available

Posted By IAMU, Monday, January 7, 2019
Each year, the Iowa DNR Forestry Section cooperates with numerous agencies to protect Iowa’s forests from insects, diseases, and other damaging agents. These programs involve ground and aerial surveys, setting up pheromone traps, following transects for sampling, collecting samples for laboratory analysis, and directing treatments for specific problems during the growing season. After each growing season, the Forestry Section issues a summary report regarding the health of Iowa’s forests. To access the report, click here.

OSHA 10-Hour Construction Outreach Course

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, January 2, 2019

This course will explain OSHA’s role in worker safety and health, jobsite hazard recognition, correction and prevention methods and how to read the OSHA standards. Participants will receive a completion card from the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA certifying successful completion of this OSHA 10-Hour course. 29 CFR 1926 CFR Book & course material furnished.

*A Certificate of Completion will be provided to attendees.

Who Should Attend:

This basic safety course is recommended for workers and supervisors, or those who have been given the task of developing and managing their employer’s safety program.

 

If you hire Contractors: Many cities also require their contractors to maintain a safety program to be eligible to work for them. The OSHA 10-Hour course will help those owners, managers, and employees develop a solid safety foundation at their company to hopefully avoid incidents while working for the city or utility. Hiring a contractor to perform work for the city/utility does not eliminate all liabilities to the city.

 

Training Location:

IAMU Training and Office Complex

1735 NE 70th Avenue

Ankeny, IA  50021

Cost:

$200 per IAMU Member participant

$240 per Non-Member participant
