Learn the employer duties in 29 CFR 1926.20 that you carry out as a construction supervisor: programs, inspections, non-compliant equipment, who may operate equipment, and which rule applies.
What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.20(b), (d)(1) and (f). It is not an OSHA card or license. Section 1926.20 has no training requirement of its own, so this course does not replace any training your employer owes you under other standards in 29 CFR Part 1926. Your employer must still initiate and maintain the programs necessary to comply with Part 1926, and must permit only employees qualified by training or experience to operate equipment and machinery. Where a standard in Part 1926 requires training, your employer must train each affected employee in the manner required by that standard.
