Since the employer can choose the provider, method, and frequency of training that is appropriate for the employees being trained, the employer has flexibility in developing and implementing a training program. However, to achieve increased safety in steel erection, the following requirements must be implemented in all training programs.
Training requirements will be deemed to have been met if:
- training is completed in steel erection and the requirements of 1926.761, and
- training has been approved by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Apprenticeship.
The employer must instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to steel erection and the general construction work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.
