CSP Domain 7: Training

A fabrication shop has used the same solvent-based cleaners for years, and all employees were trained on them at hire. The purchasing manager switches to a new cleaner that contains a chemical with a hazard (carcinogenicity) the employees have never been trained about. What does the hazard communication standard require?

1. A.Training is required only if the new cleaner is flammable
2. B.Training is required only at the next annual refresher session
3. C.No additional training is needed as long as the safety data sheet for the new cleaner is kept in the binder
4. D.Training on the new hazard is required when the new chemical hazard is introduced into the work area, because the employees have not previously been trained about it

A safety manager hires an outside trainer to deliver the annual bloodborne pathogens session at a dental clinic. The trainer is a certified general-industry instructor but has never worked in or studied healthcare settings. Which requirement of the standard is most at risk of not being met?

1. A.The trainer must be knowledgeable in the subject matter of the training elements as it relates to the workplace the training will address
2. B.The trainer must be an employee of the clinic rather than an outside contractor
3. C.The trainer must hold a current hepatitis B vaccination record
4. D.The trainer must be a licensed physician or registered nurse

A remediation contractor hires a technician who holds a certificate showing completion of hazardous waste operations training from a previous employer. The certificate covers the same content required for initial HAZWOPER training. The employer has verified it and kept a copy on file. On the technician's first day at the new site, which action does the standard require?

1. A.Allow immediate unsupervised entry, because the certification makes site-specific training unnecessary
2. B.Repeat the full initial training course, because training from another employer can never be credited
3. C.Provide appropriate site-specific training before site entry and appropriate supervised field experience at the new site
4. D.Provide only a copy of the certificate to the employee, with no further training obligations
