Yes, but is it actually required for solar installers?

I looked into OSHA certification several years ago through a local
community college. The class was, I believe $1,200.00 with a maximum
of maybe 10-12 attendees. There was also the 30 hour class available;
usually all classes are thru 3rd party orgs like the CC district. The
course is taught by an OSHA person though if they have to furnish the
classroom the cost is higher.

Ray:
The 10-hour OSHA course is not (currently) a requirement for
NABCEP's PV Installer certification. However, the NABCEP PV
Technical Sales certification does require the 10 hour OSHA course
as part of the application requirements.
The UL Certified PV System Installer application requires proof of
having attended the OSHA "30 Hour For Construction" safety
training course.
The requirement for the 10-hour OSHA course for solar PV
installers could be a state licensing requirement, particularly
those that have a separate solar PV license.

HI All;
I just received an email from a company offering OSHA training for
solar installers. A good idea, but they claimed you need a 10 hr
certification just to work as a solar installer. I have never
heard of this, so did I install a couple of hundred systems
illegally?
Here's a quote from the email: "Photovoltaic work includes working
at heights and with electricity. Due to the nature of the work, a
minimum of an OSHA 10-Hr certification is required to be employed
in the field of photovoltaics. "
This is either:
A) a scam trying to scare me into signing up for their class
B) a new requirement I wasn't aware of
C) a long standing requirement not being enforced
Fill me in oh wise ones,
