&lt;p&gt;United Rentals&amp;#39;&amp;nbsp;site is &lt;a href="http://unitedacademy.ur.com" target="_blank"&gt;unitedacademy.ur.com&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; At the home page, please select the &amp;quot;OSHA Training&amp;quot; link, then select the class you are interested in.&amp;nbsp; The 10- and 30-hours are available with Voice Authentication; this feature is required by the Dept. of Buildings for work in New York City.&amp;nbsp; United Rentals will offer 10% off the listed course price for SBE members for these and any of their other classes.&amp;nbsp;Please forward all training requests to &lt;a href="mailto:EASTUA@ur.com" target="_blank"&gt;EASTUA@ur.com&lt;/a&gt; to ensure the 10% discount is applied.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;United Rentals offers the added value of a separate card on which employees&amp;#39; completed classes are digitally tracked.&amp;nbsp; If you have any questions, or any difficulty with the site, please feel free to call Kevin Mickel at 518-903-2785.&lt;/p&gt;
