Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 8, § 1956 - Training
(a) The employer
shall provide training to each employee whose work is regulated by this
standard, at no cost to the employee, and ensure that the employee possesses
the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of
the duties assigned under this standard. This training shall result in an
understanding of the hazards in the permit space and the methods used to
isolate, control or in other ways protect employees from these hazards, and for
those employees not authorized to perform entry rescues, in the dangers of
attempting such rescues.
(b)
Training required by this section shall be provided to each affected employee:
(1) In both a language and vocabulary that
the employee can understand;
(2)
Before the employee is first assigned duties under this standard;
(3) Before there is a change in assigned
duties;
(4) Whenever there is a
change in permit space entry operations that presents a hazard about which an
employee has not previously been trained; and
(5) Whenever there is any evidence of a
deviation from the permit space entry procedures required by Section
1953(a)(3) or
there are inadequacies in the employee's knowledge or use of these
procedures.
(c) The
training shall establish employee proficiency in the duties required by this
standard and shall introduce new or revised procedures, as necessary, for
compliance with this standard.
(d)
The employer shall maintain training records to show that the training required
by Section 1956(a) through
(c) has been accomplished. The training
records shall contain each employee's name, the name of the trainers, and the
dates of training. The documentation shall be available for inspection by
employees and their authorized representatives, for the period of time the
employee is employed by that employer.
