With the recent loosening of in-person meeting restrictions, IFCA in cooperation with the Illinois Dept of Ag will be hosting in-person anhydrous ammonia safety competent attendant training beginning March 1st.  This course provides important safety and ammonia facility regulatory information and enables the attendee to achieve a 3-year certificate as a "competent attendant" in order to handle ammonia and comply with IDA regulations. 

 

There are nine upcoming classes available throughout the state.  Since each school will be restricted to 25 individuals, we will be hosting both morning and afternoon sessions.  Social distancing must be observed at each venue and we ask that you please wear a mask into the building until you are seated. 

 

Dates and locations are as follows:

 

March 1 & 2:  Bloomington

March 3:  Mendota

March 4:  Quincy

March 8:  Marion

March 9:  Effingham

March 10:  Springfield

March 11:  Charleston

March 15:  Bloomington
