The Colorado Ready Mixed Concrete Association will co-host NRMCA’s Plant Manager Certification course in Denver from December 11 to 14. The next class is NOT scheduled until August 2013. The class is specified by the Army Corps of Engineers for all batch men on federal contract projects. This class is over half full; do not get placed in the position of winning a contract but not having a batch man certified because NRMCA’s certification schedule doesn't coincide with the start of your contract. Plan ahead!

Even if you are not bidding on a federal project, please be aware that operations and production account for approximately 90% of producers’ expenses. Therefore, it has never been more important for your plant crew to be efficient, productive, and risk, as well as regulation savvy. To meet these challenges head on, NRMCA’s curriculum intensely covers the product knowledge, plant safety, environmental regulations, plant operations and ready mixed industry business skills they should apply every day for your company’s healthy turnaround. It’s a class they – and your company – can’t afford to forgo. Remember, operations account for 90% of your expenses. Mitigate your risk and educate your staff.
