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 must still provide your PPE, make sure it fits, and show you how to use it for your tasks. This course does not replace your employer's instruction on the hazards of your job. Respirators and fall protection systems have their own courses. The course is online only.
