Certified Roofing Torch Applicators (CERTA)

 The Certified Roofing Torch Applicator Program - CERTA!  


RST is proud to announce our affiliation with the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association and our position as the exclusive provider and content developer for the new webinar based Certified Roofing Torch Applicator CERTA Program.   The MRCA has a 50+ year history of providing industry leading training programs and is once again taking the lead position in virtual training for building envelope specialty contractors.   We are extremely grateful to the MRCA for the support and confidence that they have placed in us and we strive each day to better our services and help you Master the Craft!


In 1986, the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) in conjunction with industry organizations, the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers developed a curriculum to train roofing workers in the safe application of torch-applied roof systems. This program was named the Certified Roofing Torch Applicator (CERTA) program.  In 2003, insurance industry representatives approached NRCA to address concerns about increasing incidents and losses occurring from roofing workers' torching activities. The need for focused safety training addressing torching activities became apparent. NRCA arranged with MRCA to adopt and revise the CERTA program. The current CERTA program provides the best practices and newest industry requirements for roof torching activities.  

 
The CERTA training program is ideal for  contractors whose work involves torch applications. The full-day program trains experienced roof system installers on the safe use of roofing torches used to apply polymer-modified bitumen roofing products. CERTA training shows how proper roof system configuration design and application techniques can result in fire-safe installations.   RST, on behalf of the MRCA continues to work with NRCA to make sure this program is up-to-date and of the highest quality. 


There is no comparable training program offered by anyone else in the roofing industry!

 The small flame at the lower right hand corner of the screen demonstrates the "visible" flame of a standard field roofing torch.  This is the torch at its most common setting.  What you see is about 24 inches of a conical shaped flame.

 The infra-red camera image is of the same flame.  As you can see the "hottest" part of the flame in yellow is more than 5 times the size of the flame you can see. This flame area averages 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.
