The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners will soon post in the Texas Register an amended proposal to allow for virtual supervision, opening the public comment period for the rule change. PHCC Texas opposed the original proposal, and now we’re gathering input from our members on the new language, which qualifies who would be eligible for virtual supervision. We rely on your feedback to ensure our comments are aligned with the majority of our membership. Please submit your feedback by following the link below.

If your organization produces, transports, and uses hazardous chemicals, it is important to train employees to interact with these substances safely because failing to use and store hazardous chemicals correctly could lead to dangerous health side effects or even contribute to a workplace fire. 

According to OSHA, all employees should have access to and training on Safety Data Sheets (SDS), a comprehensive hazard communication (HazCom) safety program, and all chemicals must be labeled.

Brush up on your HazCom knowledge by answering the following questions. 

The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners has been working diligently to improve processes, communicate updates that impact plumbing licensees in Texas and revise Board Rules. With so much new information coming down the pike, we've compiled these updates online for you! 

 

 

 

Low unemployment in the construction industry can create an atmosphere of intense competition for a limited pool of skilled candidates. However, attracting ‘employment extenders’, establishing ‘traineeships’, promoting your company as the employer of choice, and having a solid succession plan can help you when searching for skilled labor.

Business owners face the challenge that their role as leader will one day end. Confronting and planning for the next generation can be difficult, but the cost of not facing this question — both financial and personal — may be substantial. Investing the time now to ensure a successful business transition can be impactful for the owner and show the company that there is a bright future for the next generation of the business.

Home and business owners go to great lengths to minimize damage and ensure their plumbing systems are safe, efficient and sustainable.
