Governing Regulations

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA standards are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1926 is designated for construction industry standards. This course will cover the requirements of the OSHA electrical standard for construction work, which is found in 29 CFR 1926, Subpart K.

29 CFR 1926.21 Subpart C – General Safety Training and Education (As applicable to this course subject)

  • 1926.21(a) General requirements - The Secretary shall, pursuant to section 107(f) of the Act, establish and supervise programs for the education and training of employers and employees in the recognition, avoidance and prevention of unsafe conditions in employments covered by the act.
  • 1926.21(b)(1) Employer responsibility - The employer should avail himself of the safety and health training programs the Secretary provides.
  • 1926.21(b)(2) The employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his work environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury.

Re-training is required when:

(1) supervision and inspections indicate that the employee is not following safety-related work practices;
(2) new technology, new types of equipment, or changes in procedures necessitate the use of safety-related work practices that are different from those the employee would normally use;
(3) the employee must use safety procedures that are not normally used in his or her regular job duties. OSHA considers tasks that an employee performs less often than once a year as triggering the requirement for retraining.

Each student will receive 0.3 CEUs (or 3 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.
