What this certificate covers
This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.106. It is not an OSHA card or license and it is not water rescue or boat operator training. Section 1926.106 does not contain a training requirement. Your employer must still meet its requirements: provide U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets or buoyant work vests where the danger of drowning exists, have vests inspected before and after each use and keep defective units out of use, provide ring buoys with at least 90 feet of line no more than 200 feet apart, and keep at least one lifesaving skiff immediately available. Follow your employer's rescue procedures for the site.
