The National Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA) is a
nonprofit trade association composed of more than 1600
member companies that produce, sell and use hardwood
lumber, or provide services to the hardwood industry.
The Association was founded in 1898 to establish a
uniform system of Grading Rules for the measurement and
inspection of hardwood lumber. The Association still
functions as the administrator and keeper of these
Rules. |
|
In 1948, the Association established a vocational
training school in Memphis to teach the Rules and
application of the NHLA grading system, and help fill an
increasing demand for skilled lumber inspectors. Since
that time, more than 6,700 students have graduated from
the Inspection Program. The Summer 2008 Class will mark
the first year the Inspection School will take place at
Venango Technology Center in Oil City, PA. |
|
The Inspection School is the only school of its kind in
the world and students from throughout the United
States, Canada, Europe, Africa, South America and Asia
have attended. As testimony to the value of the
Inspection School, many graduates are now in ownership
or management positions in the industry and are sending
their children and employees to complete the course. |
