OSHA 10 or 30 (AZCO Calls)
AZCO is requiring the current OSHA 10 or 30 (within 3 years) for their job calls. In order to take one of their calls, you must provide the hall with a copy of your current OSHA card or certificate before taking the call.
OSHA - 10
Now is the time to update your OSHA 10 if your card is not within the last 3 years. We have had a few job calls that require OSHA 10 which has to be registered on the ECCS listing before you can be on site.
