Why Do I Need Safety Training?
The successful implementation of a SWPPP and, therefore, the prevention of erosion, is best accomplished by ensuring everyone on site understands the controls and why they are being implemented. General contractors are responsible for providing their employees and sub-contractors with the appropriate training.
Employees and subcontractors should be trained on at least the following:
- Spill prevention and cleanup measures, including not dumping any material into storm drains or waterways
- An understanding of the basic purpose of Walkie Stacker BMPs, including what BMPs are on-site, what they should look like, and how to avoid damaging them
- Potential penalties associated with noncompliance
When it comes to refresher training, the standard is very specific: employees must receive refresher trainings at least every three years to ensure they understand and follow the most current operating procedures. Employers may require refresher trainings take place more frequently, depending on input they receive from the employees involved in the operating process. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that prove continued competency.
