Contractor safety will be discussed as it relates to installation practices. The following topics will be emphasized during the presentations: Installation techniques and materials, the steps involved in planning an OWTS installation project, as well as a discussion of the different components that make up an OWTS. This course is designed to meet the needs of any individual interested in what goes into completing an OWTS installation whether they have been a contractor for many years or new to this type of work.
