Confined space, steel erection and HAZWOPER training

0:00 Intro

Confined space, steel erection and HAZWOPER training, for the CHST exam. Every rule and number here is cited to its primary source, on screen.

0:11 Learning objectives

In this lesson, you'll learn to: state when permit space training must be provided, identify who provides steel erection training and what it covers, apply the HAZWOPER initial and refresher hour requirements, and separate confined space records from HAZWOPER certificates.

0:30 Confined space: the duty

1207. The employer trains each regulated employee at no cost to the employee. Employees not authorized to perform rescues must understand the dangers of attempting one.

0:46 Confined space: timing

Training must come in a language and vocabulary the employee can understand. It comes before first assignment, and before any change in assigned duties. Also when entry operations create an untrained hazard. And on evidence of deviation from entry procedures, or inadequacies in knowledge or use of them.

1:07 Confined space: records

Next, proficiency and records. Training must establish employee proficiency in the duties the standard requires. It must also introduce new or revised procedures, as necessary, for compliance. Records must contain each employee's name, the trainers' names, and the dates of training.

1:36 Steel erection: Subpart R

They must be available for inspection by employees and their authorized representatives, for as long as the employee is employed by that employer. 761, must be provided by a qualified person. The employer trains each employee exposed to a fall hazard. It institutes a training program and ensures participation.

2:00 Steel erection: special training

Topics: spotting fall hazards, using, erecting and inspecting the systems, preventing falls through holes, and the subpart's requirements. Beyond fall training, special training covers three activities. 753(e). 760(b). Controlled decking zones: where CDZs are used, every employee is trained in their hazards and work practices.

2:30 HAZWOPER: initial training

65(e), sets initial hours by exposure. General site workers: a minimum of 40 hours off site and three days of supervised field experience. Occasional-task workers, unlikely to exceed exposure limits: 24 hours and one day. Regular workers in fully characterized areas under the limits, no respirators: also 24 hours and one day. Supervisors: 40 hours and three days, or 24 and one if they supervise only those limited-exposure workers, plus 8 specialized hours.

3:08 HAZWOPER: upgrading

A 24-hour worker who becomes a general site worker, or must wear a respirator, needs more training. The standard says the additional is 16 hours and two days. 24 plus 16 gives 40 hours. One day plus two days gives the three field days.

3:27 HAZWOPER: refresher and proof

Refreshers are eight hours annually: required elements, a critique of the past year's incidents, and other relevant topics. Completers are certified by their instructor, or the head instructor and trained supervisor, with a written certificate. Equivalent training excuses only initial training.

3:52 On the job

New-to-site workers still need site-specific training before entry and supervised field experience there. You're the safety lead on a remediation job. A new laborer will remove hazardous substances and may enter a permit space. First, confirm certification or documented equivalent training.

4:20 Common exam traps

Without either, they cannot engage in hazardous waste operations. General site work means 40 hours off site and three days of supervised field experience. Before first permit space duties, train them in a language and vocabulary they understand. Now, six traps that catch people on exam day. One: 24 hours does not cover everyone. General site workers need 40 hours. Two: refreshers are eight hours annually, not forty. Three: steel erection training comes from a qualified person.

4:59 Recap quiz

Four: permit space training repeats on changed duties, new hazards, or deviations. Five: confined space records list names and dates. The written certificate is a HAZWOPER requirement. Six: equivalent training does not waive site-specific training before entry. Question 1. A HAZWOPER worker with 24 hours must now wear a respirator. What additional training? A: 8 hours and one day. B: 16 hours and two days. C: 24 hours and three days. D: none. B. The additional 16 hours and two days bring the total to the 40-hour requirement. Question 2. 761? A: any experienced employee. B: the fabricator. C: a qualified person. D: the controlling contractor. C. Training must be provided by a qualified person(s). Question 3. Permit space training must be repeated when? A: evidence of deviation from entry procedures. B: every 8 hours annually. C: after every entry. D: only when OSHA inspects. A. Evidence of deviation, or inadequate knowledge or use of procedures, requires retraining. Want to see where you stand on every CHST domain? com.
