BBP Course Requirements
Depending on the country, city, province/ state that you live in there may be a variety of requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are taking the proper course for your area. Call your local public health office to find out what type of course, you need to cover your area of work.
I have added links to some of the OSHA in a variety of countries. Check your area before purchasing a course. The easiest way I have found to navigate these sites is to use the search bar. Enter in your occupation and you should be pointed in the right direction.
