Verification of Training

Employers must verify worker training by preparing a written certification record. The record must contain the name or other identity of the worker trained, the dates of the training, and the signature of either the person who conducted the training or the employer.

Retraining

When an employer has reason to believe that an affected worker does not recognize existing fall hazards at some point after the initial training, the employer is required to provide retraining for that worker. For example, workers must be retrained when any of the following occur:

• Changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete
• Fall protection equipment or systems have changed
• Inadequacies in workers' knowledge or use of fall protection systems or equipment indicate that they have not adequately understood or retained previous training
