For framers, carpenters and other construction workers: what OSHA requires for pneumatic nailers, air hoses and powder-actuated tools, plus the habits that keep nails and pins out of people.
What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.300(a) and (c) and 29 CFR 1926.302(b) and (e). It is not an OSHA card or license, and it does not by itself meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1926.302(e)(1). Your employer must still allow only employees who have been trained in the operation of the particular tool in use to operate a powder-actuated tool.
