Your employer's part

This online course does not replace the training your employer must give on your own job: site-specific training, and hands-on practice and evaluation where the rule requires them.

What this course does not do

The course ends with a company review page: each worker reviews the employer's own exit routes, alarm, assembly area, evacuation helpers and contacts with a supervisor. The employer must still advise each employee of their responsibilities and review its own plans with each employee (Sections 3220(e) and 3221(d)). This course does not train evacuation wardens or employees with rescue, medical or critical-operations duties, does not teach fire extinguisher use or hot work procedures, and does not cover construction sites.
