5D.v Education and Training
The education and training of workers are the responsibility of the
employer. An effective training program must be practical, based on
written work procedures, and be specific to both the job site and the
tasks to be performed. Training shall also include the responsibilities
and responses of workers in an emergency. The employer shall ensure
through the education and training program that all workers are able
to work without risk to themselves or others around them.
All
workers must clearly understand their responsibilities with regard to
not only specific work procedures but also the need to report all haz-
ards, accidents, or incidents and injuries. Management and employees
shall review all routine work and emergency procedures jointly at least
once annually.
