First Aid and CPR WWT Operator TCH Credits Reply

by • TCH, Wastewater

CAPACCIO has had a few inquiries from our clients asking if First Aid Classes and CPR classes can be used toward the 20 Training Contact Hours (TCH’s) that WWT operators are required to obtain in order to maintain their licenses.  We spoke with the MassDEP who confirmed that they are approved. When operators submit their license renewal forms, they are to include a copy of the card (both sides) issued to them upon completion. First Aid Courses (regardless of actual length in hours) are approved for 3 TCH’s, similarly, CPR courses are also worth 3 TCH’s.  Some companies are now offering combined classes where First Aid and CPR are covered in the same course and the participants are issued one certification card for both.  If the class is combined the operators can only obtain 3 TCH’s and not 6 as they would if they were to take the classes separately. If you have any questions, contact Josh Fawson at 508-970-0033 ext. 120 or jfawson@capaccio.com.
