CLEVELAND, WI –
Lakeshore Technical College will offer a two-day wind turbine safety seminar in October and again in November. Students who successfully complete a seminar receive certification valid for two years.
LTC's wind turbine SAFER program provides work-at-height professionals with the knowledge and skills to work SAFER (Safe Access, Fall protection, Evacuation, and Rescue).
The seminar will be offered Oct. 4-5 (refer to class No. 67190) and again Nov. 1-2 (refer to class No. 60023), from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at LTC's campus in Cleveland.
