UPDATE on RSO-20 Hour course

On October 7, 2017, the Governor of California signed into law AB55. In part, the law changes the implementation dates for the components of the 20-hour High Hazard Facility Training referenced in Health and Safety Code Section 25536.7, Sub Section (10) (C).

Consistent with the new law, the following has been amended:
• Effective dates for Part 1: 4-hours of Fundamentals of Refining and Part 3: 8-hours of Safety as it Pertains to Crafts have been extended to July 1st, 2018
• Effective date of Part 2: 8-hours of Refinery Safety Overview, a carryover of the previous Refinery Safety Overview (RSO) training, will remain as originally announced: January 1, 2018

Eligible members who contact our office will be required to schedule all three courses, totalling 20-hours of training. Local 378 will not schedule any portion of the training, individually.

Please note: the High Hazard Facility Training is a 3-day training. Please keep this in mind when scheduling with Local 378 as the IMPACT attendance policy is still in effect.
