Title: Electrical Protective Equipment (1910.137) and Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution (1910.269). OMB Number: 1218-0190. Frequency: On occasion; Semi-annually; and Annually.

The certification must identify the equipment that passed the tests and the dates of the tests. This provision helps ensure that electrical protective equipment is reliable and safe for employee use and will provide adequate protection against electric shock. In addition, certification helps OSHA to determine if employers are in compliance with the equipment-testing requirements of the standard. Section 1910.269(a)(2)(vii) requires employers to certify that each employee received the training specified in paragraph (a)(2) of the standard. Employers must provide certification after an employee demonstrates proficiency in the work practices involved. This certification requirement helps employers monitor the training their employees received and helps OSHA determine if employers provided the required training to their employees. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 03-25268 Filed 10-3-03; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-23-P |
