What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1053. It is not an OSHA card or license, and it does not by itself meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1926.1060. Your employer must still ensure you are trained by a competent person, as applicable, in the fall hazards in your work area and the ladders used at your job sites, and must provide retraining as necessary.
