AIDT's Maritime Training Center has a full slate of training classes that start in late summer early fall.  Registration for all classes is open now.

The course has been designed for all people working in the Maritime Industry who either want to learn more about workplace safety and health hazard recognition . Special emphasis have been placed on those areas in the Maritime industry that are the most hazardous, using the OSHA 29 CFR 1915; 1917; and 1918 standards as a resource. Topics covered in this course include:

• Introduction to OSHA
• Walking and Working Surfaces
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Fall Protection/Scaffolding
• Electrical
• Confined and Enclosed Spaces

The AIDT Maritime Training Center recently hosted it's very first Career Fair. With almost a dozen local maritime and construction businesses on hand seeking employees, hundreds of people showed up for the day long event.  WKRG and FOX News 10 were both on hand to cover the story.
