Future Environment Designs wishes all of you a Merry Holidays and a Happy New Year for 2020!

Future Environment Designs (#FEDTC) wishes you and your family a Merry Holidays and a Happy New Year.  As we say goodbye to 2019 and 2010 decade, it is a good time to reflect on all we accomplished in the last decade, including:

2019 Rockefeller Center
As we say hello to 2020 and we look forward to the coming decade, the time is coming to hand over the reins of Future Environment Designs to a younger generation.  We expect this process to take most of the decade to ensure our clients are still provided the level of information and service they have come to expect from Future Environment Designs.  We expect more digitizing and blending of the courses moving into the future, including:


  • All exams being moved online.
  • Shopping cart added to the website.
  • Revision of the website making it more mobile-friendly. 
  • New online courses including Bloodborne Pathogens, Respirator Administrator, PCB Awareness, etc.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you in 2020 and during the upcoming decade.  We are also excited about the changes and opportunities coming our way.  Again, we wish you & your family a Merry Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!

Local Law 196 of 2017 Deadlines Extended.

On November 8, 2018, New York City Department of Buildings tweeted about extending the deadlines for construction training under Local Law 196 of 2017.  Click here to see the tweet.  This pushes back the training requirements deadline from December 1, 2018, to June 1, 2019.  Currently, to work on most construction projects all that is required is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-hour construction safety course card.  This requirement will continue to be required until June 1, 2019.


After June 1, 2019, construction workers will be required to have 30-hours of training either by taking an OSHA 30-hour construction safety course or by getting 20 additional training hours over the OSHA 10-hour construction safety course.  Those 20 additional training hours must consist of an 8-hour fall protection course, a 4-hour scaffold user course, and an 8-hour site safety manager refresher course.


The next deadline has also been extended to September 1, 2020.  That deadline will require individuals taking the OSHA 10-hour construction safety course to take 30 additional hours of training or those individuals taking the OSHA 30-hour construction safety course to take 10 additional training hours.  For more information click here for the NYC Buildings Department November 2018 Service Update explaining these changes and requirements.
