Case Study
Omega Cabinetry, a division of MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc. needed painters to be trained in order to meet the annual training requirement of the wood furniture NESHAP (40 CFR 63, Subpart JJ). IWRC developed a one-day customized course to meet the specific requirements of the regulation. Click below to read the case study.
The importance of painter training cannot be undersold. A workforce of trained painters can improve productivity, reduce rework and defects, decrease air emissions and hazardous waste generation and even meet and exceed regulatory compliance.
IWRC’s trainers have worked with small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike within a wide array of industries including aerospace, defense, auto body, metal manufacturing, and woodworking.
Every business faces different challenges; IWRC Painter Training provides a variety of training options for businesses to utilize. Ranging from a half day to multiple day trainings, IWRC’s trainers will provide customized training to meet your facility’s needs.
