Continuing Education
Starting in 2008, contractors registering with local health districts must comply with the certification or continuing education (CE) requirements of the sewage treatment system (STS) rules.  State and national certification options are listed in rule.  For those contractors who do not wish to obtain and maintain such certification, six CE hours must be obtained each year.  For now, CE options listed below may apply to multiple contractor categories unless otherwise specified.  For example, a registering contractor who is an installer and a service provider would only need to obtain six CE hours.   

Responsibilities of Registering Contractor: At the time of registration, a contractor must provide an agenda and certificate of attendance including the number of CE hours for each educational session attended to achieve the required CE hours. 

 

Responsibilities of Local Health Districts: Annually starting in 2008, the local health district must confirm that any contractor registering as an installer, service provider or septage hauler provides evidence of certification or CE hours.  The list of all approved CE options for the previous year will be maintained on this web page.

 

Responsibility of CE Providers: If a CE option is not listed below, a prospective CE provider should submit course offerings information or an agenda with CE hours to Jean.Caudill@odh.ohio.gov, by mail to Jean Caudill at the Ohio Department of Health, 246 North High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215, or by fax at 614-466-4556 to the attention of Jean Caudill.  CE Providers must provide a certificate of attendance and an agenda to each contractor including the CE hours attended and must maintain a list of attendees at least through the calendar year following the year the CE was provided.
