b'CERTA UPDATEMRCA CONTINUES TO EXPAND PROMOTION OF CERTA TORCH SAFETY PROGRAMT he MRCA Board of Directors approved spending additional funds for the promotion of the CERTA Torch Applied Safety Program.This joint safety program with NRCA has been an important service to roofing contractors.MRCA is going to expand its efforts to assist roofing contractors in either holding Torch Applicator Certification Classes in their area or finding classes that are already booked and available. MRCA will also work with roofing contractors to assist them in holding their own class.This includes help in the filing of required paperwork, scheduling a certified instructor, and even assisting in providing the required equipment and hands-on testing platforms.MRCA has recently acquired a CERTA Trailer which will house the class materials, equipment and platforms and provide a new dimension to contractor assistance for applicator classes. The trailer will also help to promote CERTA at various roofing industry events. If you are in need of assistance in any of these areas, just contact MRCA staff representative Megan Miller at the MRCA office (800) 497-6722 or mmiller@mrca.org.The CERTA Program is administered by the MRCA Technology & Research Committee.32 www.mrca.orgMidwest Roofer'
