Hexavalent Chromium Awareness
For workers and welders exposed to hexavalent chromium: know the limits and your exposure results, how exposure must be controlled, how to handle protective clothing and hygiene, and what medical surveillance you are entitled to.
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1026 and 29 CFR 1926.1126. It is not an OSHA card or license, and it does not by itself meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1026(l) or 29 CFR 1926.1126(j). Your employer must still include chromium (VI) in its hazard communication program, ensure that you are trained in accordance with the Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), and ensure that you can demonstrate knowledge of the contents of the chromium (VI) standard and the purpose and a description of its medical surveillance program.
