) Initial SOH Training. All Level 1 SSHOs must receive OSHA 30-hour general industry or construction safety training. Training may be web-based if permitted by OSHA. In lieu of formal OSHA-30 training, SOH training covering the subjects of the OSHA 30-hour course and this manual may be accepted by the KO in coordination with the local SOHO having jurisdiction over the work. The local SOHO will evaluate the proposed equivalent training for applicability to the contract scope of work being performed.
(b) Competency Training Requirements. All Level 1 SSHOs must have maintained their competency by taking 24 hours of documented formal classroom or online SOH-related training within the past five years, and must maintain competency by taking 24 hours every three-year period for the duration of the contract. The 24 hours can be multiple classes combined.
Note. The initial SOH training (that is, OSHA 30-hour) does not meet the 24-hour competency training requirement.
Note. Hours spent as an instructor for SOH related training (for example, teaching an OSHA 10- or 30-hour class, or a 4-hour fall protection end user training) can be considered for hours spent training, but each course can only be used for hours once (for example, instructing 4-hour fall protection end user training three times a year only counts for 4-hours of training).
(c) Experience Requirements. All Level1 SSHOs must have at least five years of cumulative safety experience, within the last ten years, managing or implementing a SOH program on projects similar in industry type, size, and complexity as the project described in the contract scope of work.
Note. If the Level 1 SSHO has a safety-related degree, third-party, nationally accredited (for example, American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA), Council on Engineering and Scientific Specialty Boards (CESB) SOH-related certification or designation requiring a minimum of three years of experience to obtain, only three years of experience is needed.
