New Health & Safety HEARTH Online Classes
Sign up now!
The HEARTH Education Foundation debuted in May with 
three classes offered. Classes are live and interactive, presented by an instructor who can lead discussion among participants, answer questions and show images and text. All you need is a computer with speakers to take part.
Recognizing that Health & Safety (SHL) CEU's have been the most difficult for NFI Certified Specialists to obtain, we are pleased to announce two new online courses: "Workplace First Aid" and "Tools For OSHA Compliance". Each course is 90 minutes in length and worth 1.5 SHL CEU's. Both courses are being offered in September and October.
Also offered isHearth 101(no CEUs), Gas Tech 101 (1.5 CEUs) and Why My Wood Isn't Burning (1.5 CUEs).
For more information on the courses and to sign up , contact Rick Vlahos at Vlahos@hpba.org or visit www.hpbef.org.
