This certificate records completion of awareness training based on OSHA 29 CFR 1926.650, 1926.651 and 1926.652 and Appendices A and B to Subpart P. It is not an OSHA card or license, and it does not by itself make anyone a competent person under the standard. Subpart P has no training requirement of its own. Your employer must still make sure that the competent-person duties in Subpart P, such as the inspections in 1926.651(k) and any soil classification under Appendix A, are carried out by a competent person: one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
