CERTA
 
The current MRCA/NRCA jointly administered CERTA program provides the best practices and new industry requirements for torching activities.
 
CERTA delivers these requirements through a certification program where authorized trainers deliver effective behavior-based training to roofing workers. MRCA continues to work with NRCA to make sure the program is up-to-date and of the highest quality. There is no comparable training program available in the roofing industry. 
 
The CERTA training program is ideal for contractors whose work involves torch applications. The full-day program trains experienced roof system installers on the safe use of roofing torches used to apply polymer-modified bitumen roofing products. CERTA training shows how proper roof system configuration design and application techniques can result in fire-safe installations. To learn more about CERTA, click here.
