According to the State of California, Division of Occupational Safety & Health Elevator Unit, due to the ongoing COVID-19 Crisis, they have decided to extend the CCCM renewal time. If your CCCM expires before classes resume you can submit proof that you were enrolled in one of the canceled classes along with your CCCM renewal application and renewal fee to the Elevator Unit and they will be processed. Once you have completed the class, you will need to submit a copy of the actual certificate.
If you have any questions regarding this or any other part of the EIWPF PACE program, please contact Kevin Sullivan, EIWPF National Coordinator, at (888) 511-3113 ext. #3.
