Learn what the construction rules ask of the worker who sets up or runs LP-gas containers and temporary heaters: approved equipment, indoor use, spacing, storage, ventilation, clearances and flame-failure protection.
What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.153 and 1926.154. It is not an OSHA card or license. These sections do not set their own training requirements, and this certificate does not by itself meet the employer's training duty under 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2). Your employer must still instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to their work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.
