First of all, if you need training you can sign up for it on the STAR website www.dc16star.org What may happen if you are not up to date on your certifications? Let&#8217;s say you are operating a boom lift and OSHA comes on the job and asks to see your certification you pull it out and its expired. Not only did your employer just get fined but OSHA may fine you as an individual as well. At that point there is nothing I will be able to do for you. So please again please keep your training certifications up to date. If you need help signing up on the website reach out to me and I will help you. In addition, if you are a painter or a glazier, I cannot dispatch you outside Local 294&#8217;s jurisdiction if your certs are not up to date. This is the language in the Northern California Glaziers and Painters master agreements. Again, to clarify what that means if things are slow at home and you offered a job with a out of area signatory employer in the Bay Area or Sacramento and you do not have all of the required certifications up to date, I cannot dispatch you to work. In most cases the employer will ask you if you have those certs in advance and if you don&#8217;t, they won&#8217;t even consider you. So again, please keep your certifications up to date. Working depends on it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Puede encontrar cu\u00e1les son las certificaciones requeridas en los Acuerdos Marco del Norte de California en este sitio web para su respectiva especialidad.
