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

Your employer or crew writes the real JHA for your job, and this course does not replace it. None of the rules named in the course requires JHA training, and the course is not an OSHA or Cal/OSHA credential. It does not make you a competent person (29 CFR 1926.32(f)). In California, the method supports the hazard reviews in your employer's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (8 CCR 3203). If you work in another state with its own OSHA-approved plan, that state may have different or more stringent rules. The course is online only.
