- 4 modules
- 13 pages
- about 20 minutes
Learn how to stack and store materials on a construction site, where and how much you may store, how to keep aisles and work areas clear, and how waste and debris must be handled.
What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.250(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (b)(1), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(8), (b)(9) and (c), and 29 CFR 1926.252(a), (b), (c) and (e). It is not an OSHA card or license. Sections 1926.250 and 1926.252 have no training paragraph of their own, and this certificate does not by itself meet the general training requirement of 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.
