Training
19 OSHA and HazCom articles tagged "Training" — practical, CFR-cited guidance verified against primary sources.
OSHA requires HazCom training at initial assignment and whenever a new chemical hazard is introduced, in a manner and language workers understand — covering the standard, the hazards in the work area, and how to read labels and SDSs. These articles cover training requirements, documentation, and the other standards (fall protection, respiratory, LOTO) with their own training rules.
The Ultimate Toolbox Talk Guide: Engagement & Compliance
Toolbox talks aren't OSHA-mandated by name, but the training they document is. Learn the 4-step framework, a defensible sign-in sheet, the right frequency, and how to make a 5-minute talk actually change behavior.
Your Crew Doesn't Have Email. Your Safety Software Demands It.
OSHA never asks whether a worker has an inbox. Most safety platforms do. The workaround crews reach for, one shared login for the whole trailer, destroys the one thing the records were supposed to prove: who did what.
Does OSHA Require Safety Data Sheets in Spanish?
No for the document, yes for the training. 29 CFR 1910.1200(g)(2) requires the SDS in English and only permits other languages; the same standard, OSHA's 2010 policy statement and the 2026 HazCom directive require training in a language the worker understands.

Is There a Passing Score for an OSHA Forklift Evaluation?
No. 29 CFR 1910.178(l) contains no percentage, no grade and no pass mark — and the '80% to pass' number the training market sells can quietly convert a mandatory retraining trigger into a green light. What the rule actually demands is demonstrated competence, observed in the workplace, certified by name and date.

A permit-required confined space entry has four trained roles, and each owes different duties. This guide covers what the authorized entrant, attendant, entry supervisor, and rescue team must know under 1926 Subpart AA.
HAZWOPER Training Levels: 40, 24 & 8-Hour Explained
40-hour, 24-hour, 8-hour refresher: HAZWOPER training levels confuse everyone. Who needs which, the field-experience days, the supervisor add-on, and the five emergency-response levels.
OSHA 10 vs OSHA 30: What Each Covers & State Mandates
OSHA 10 and 30-hour cards are everywhere on construction sites, but they're voluntary, they don't satisfy your training duties by themselves, and some states require them. What each one actually is.
Crane Operator Certification & Qualification (1926.1427)
Certifying a crane operator is only half of what OSHA requires. Under 1926.1427 you must also evaluate and document that the operator can run the specific equipment — plus qualify the signal person and rigger.
Temporary & Leased Workers: Who Records and Who Trains? (1904.31)
On a construction site running temp and leased labor, one question causes most of the confusion: when a temp gets hurt, whose 300 log does it go on, and who owed them training? OSHA has clear answers.
