This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.450(b), 1926.451 and 1926.454. It is not an OSHA card or license, it does not make anyone a competent person, and it does not by itself meet the training requirements of 29 CFR 1926.454. Your employer must still have each employee who performs work while on a scaffold trained by a person qualified in the subject matter, have each employee who is involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting a scaffold trained by a competent person, and retrain employees as 29 CFR 1926.454(c) requires.
