(MENAFNEditorial) TRM ROOF TECHS COMPLETE CERTA TRAINING COURSE
[CERTA Training Course] TEXAS ROOF MANAGEMENT INC's roofing crews recently completed a CERTA (Certified Torch Applicator) training course to help ourroofing professionalslearn how to safely and effectively operate propane torches. The North Texas Roofing Contractors Association, in conjunction with the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association, organized CERTA to promote a standard for safe usage ofroofing torches.
When used in the open air, a propane-oxygen roofing torch reaches a maximum temperature of 3,623 degrees Fahrenheit. These high temperatures pose a significant threat to the safety of our crews. It's imperative that the professionals operating this equipment are well-trained and certified to work with torches.
The CERTA training courses were held on the 3rdand 4thof October, with another course scheduled for the 13th. The eight hour courses consist of lectures, video training, and hands-on practice, and were presented in both Spanish and English. After the classes are complete, a total of 53roofing professionalswill receive their CERTA Training Certificate.
