      Retraining
                                      •   A change in the energy control
  •   Certify training                    procedures.
                                      •   Periodic inspections reveal that
                                          there are deviations in the energy
                                          control procedure.
                                      •   The employer believes that there

                                          inadequacies in, the employee's
                                          knowledge or use of the energy
                                          control procedures.
PPE



 • Communicate PPE selection decisions to each affected employee
 • The employer shall provide training to each employee who is
   required by this section to use PPE. Each such employee shall be
   trained to know at least the following:
 • When PPE is necessary;
 • What PPE is necessary; How to properly don, doff, adjust, and wear
   PPE;
 • The limitations of the PPE; and
 • The proper care, maintenance, useful life and disposal of the PPE.
 • Each affected employee shall demonstrate an understanding of the
   training specified in paragraph 1910.132(f)(1) of this section, and
   the ability to use PPE properly, before being allowed to perform
   work requiring the use of PPE.
Forklifts



  • Initially
  • Every 3 years
  • Near Miss

  • Are the
    operators
    trained to
    inspect?
Hot Works


 • Train personnel on hot
   work policies/procedures,
   proper use and
   calibration of combustible
   gas detectors, safety
   equipment, fire watch
   responsibility, and job
   specific hazards and         Cutters or welders and their
   controls in a language       supervisors must be
   understood by the            suitably trained in the safe
   workforce.                   operation of their equipment
                                and the safe use of the
                                process.
Respirators


  • Training must be provided prior to use, unless
    acceptable training has been provided by another
    employer within the past 12 months
  • Retraining is required annually, and when:
     – changes in the workplace or type of respirator render
       previous training obsolete
     – there are inadequacies in the employee’s knowledge or use
     – any other situation arises in which retraining appears
       necessary
  • The basic advisory information in Appendix D must be
    provided to employees who wear respirators when use is
    not required by this standard or by the employer
Hearing Conservation


  • Applies if over 85 dbA
  • 1910.95
  • The employer shall provide
    training in the use and care of
    all hearing protectors provided
    to employees.
  • The training program shall be
    repeated annually
  • Train on effects of noise,
    access to the OSHA standard       Proper insertion will affect the
    and where it is posted.           quality of sound reduction.
Electrical Arc Flash



  • Removing or installing
    circuit breakers or fuses
  • Voltage testing
  • Working on control
    circuits when energized
    parts exposed
  • Applying safety grounds
  • Racking circuit breakers
  • Racking starters
  • Removing bolted covers
Confined Space



  Train before being
   assigned, when
   changes occur
  Provide advisory
   training prior to entry
   of any space
  Rescue training is
   often inadequate!
Boilers



  • Over a hundred
    boiler explosions
    and fires in the last
    ten years.
  • These are pressure
    vessels.
  • People assigned to
    operate and
    maintain the boilers
    have little or no
    boiler safety
    training.
General Industry VS. Construction
Industry



  • The first two standards in Construction are
    general safety training standards.
  • Applies to all construction
  • Those general standards do not exist in
    General Industry.
Can you rely on training from an employee’s
previous employer?



  • It depends what was covered.
  • Training should be specific to the current
    employer’s policies, programs and the
    hazards that the employee will encounter.
Can you rely on training from an employee’s
previous employer?



  • Some training standards that requires an
    employer to certify the training and
    maintain the records.
  • Some standards that require refresher
    training when there are changes in the
    employees working conditions.
Is computer web-based training good
enough?


  • No, in GI, be careful of standards such as
    1910.178(l)(2)(ii) that requires practical
    (demonstration) training.
  • In Construction 1926.1427 (effective Nov
    2014) it will requires practical training as
    well.
Is computer web-based training good
enough?


  • Computer web-based training can and is a
    good tool to assist with safety and health
    training but should not become the only
    method of training for OSHA standards.
  • There are some OSHA standards where
    computer web-based training would be
    good, such as Hazcom, Emergency
    Action, and Fire Prevention.
Is computer web-based training good
enough?


  • Some of the pitfalls of computer web-base
    training can be:
    – Can the employee read including read English well
      enough to understand the program
    – If the program stays the same from year to year,
      considering the changes made in the facility
    – Is there any interaction between the employee and
      the trainer to ensure the employee understand the
      training per Dr. Michaels memo.
