Teamsters Training Plan

Pipeline Safety

Certificates for the Pipeline Construction Safety Training (PCST) are only valid for 3 years. Anyone who took the training over three years ago must take the online renewal program to remain eligible for work in the industry.

This policy change affects over 200 Teamsters Local 213 members who took their training in 2006 and 2007. Their certificates are no longer valid.

In order to access the computer-based program, you will need a Personal Identification Number (PIN) and high-speed Internet access.

You should allow yourself up to five hours to complete the program. The renewal program is similar to the original program offered over the past several years.

The program may be available at Teamster offices in Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George or Vancouver for members who do not have access to high speed Internet.

Division A members will have the $40 registration fee waived because their contractors contribute to a training fund.
The course is also available to Division B and C members on a cost-recovery basis. Payment must be made prior to receiving a PIN access code.

If you took the course in 2007 or earlier, or would like to work in the pipeline construction industry, contact the Dispatch Office at 604-874-5525.
