This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1910.123, 1910.124 and 1910.125. It is not an OSHA card or license, and it is not permit-required confined space entry training. 29 CFR 1910.123 through 1910.126 contain no separate training requirement; the related employer duty is 29 CFR 1910.124(f): your employer must make sure you know the first-aid procedures that are appropriate to the dipping or coating hazards to which you are exposed. Your employer must also control your exposure as required by any subpart Z standard that covers the liquid in your tank (29 CFR 1910.124(b)(2)), and meet the entry requirements of 29 CFR 1910.146, as applicable, before anyone enters a dip tank (29 CFR 1910.124(e)).
