Training (5.3)
All personnel who work at elevations must meet the definition of authorized person (see
Section 4, "Definitions"), including meeting the training requirements below.
See Fall Protection:
Authorized, Competent, and Qualified Person Requirements
[pdf] for a description of the training, experience, and qualifications necessary for authorized, competent and qualified persons.
Authorized Person (5.3.1)
Only designated, authorized personnel may participate in fall protection activities.
This course is suitable for personnel who must wear and use fall protection equipment or must access unprotected elevated work surfaces as part of their jobs. This course is required initially and every three years thereafter.
Competent or Qualified Person (5.3.2)
Competent and qualified person training are offered through private firms that specialize in fall protection engineering and applications. The Fall Protection Classification provides the names of selected course providers. The Chemical and General Safety Department will assist in recommending training courses and keeping the list of competent and qualified persons up-to-date. Contact the fall protection program manager for a list of designated competent and qualified persons.
Within each directorate, supervisors must document the names of individuals who meet the minimum requirements necessary to be considered competent or qualified persons. See Fall Protection: Competent and Qualified Person Designation Form
[pdf]
or [doc], for the designation form to be signed by the supervisor and the individual being designated. The forms are kept in the individual's personnel file in Human Resources and by the supervisor for the duration of employment.
