The US National Demolition Association has announced the dates for its 2009 Demolition Academy event, which will run from 14^th October through to the 16^th October at the OSHA Training Institute at Arlington Heights, Illinois. This will be the Association's 15^th formal safety training programme

The 14^th will be devoted to a demolition-specific OSHA 10 hour Certification that will be provided in both Spanish and English. According to NDA executive director Mike Taylor: " It [OSHA Certification] should be an important part of every company's safety training programme and is also required as part of OSHA's Disaster Site Worker Training Certification." Those already holding OSHA Certification can take advantage of in-depth fall protection, accident investigation, confined space and aerial lift training.

On the 15^th a continuation of the OSHA Certification from the previous day will be provided, or the option of full day management training workshops.
