Hi Carlos. The Fed rule requires retraining when employee evaluations show that they need refreshing. And you and I have met some people who should be retrained at every break.

New York State Department of Labor/Public Employee Safety & Health Administration (PESHA) requires annual training for public institutions and employees. This requirement is more stringent than Federal OSHA.

Hi Karalyn and others!
As a major manufacturer of containment equipment in the US, FSI has
several forms of safety training available for our products:
1)
Manuals
2)
PowerPoints
3)
Videos
We recommend looking at what media form is
most appropriate for your facility and application and requiring the book/tutorial be reviewed at the first instance of a given item being used.. A sign-off after reviewing the material formalizes training and is a good demonstration that both the student
and supervisor have spent time reviewing operation of the piece of equipment in question.
I realize this approach, for us, is equipment-oriented, but we rarely have exposed individuals to this sort of training and have negative outcomes. A similar approach
could also be developed by yourself for procedures your students need to perform in their classroom pursuits.
I am certain that other safety equipment manufacturers also have such materials available. You can contact me for further details/information on this material.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Frequency of Lab Safety Training
I've been doing my annual review of the regulations and I wanted to poll the audience here, particularly academic institutions, to see how often you require lab safety training?
Both Haz Com and the Lab Standard require it when you start and when new hazards are introduced, but have no requirement for refresher training. Most of the other clients who use the management software we are moving to keep to that and only require it once.
I'm hoping to get a larger sample size by asking here.
Thank you,
