e. This training must be completed within the developmental period. Although expertise in areas such as hazard recognition and industrial processes requires long-term, continuing education, it is expected that a solid foundation of information related to these topics will be presented during this time.

f. Instructional methods such as the use of audiovisual aids, reading materials, case file review, staff meetings, and inspection activity may be used by the employee's supervisor to assign the required topics. Appendix B of this instruction lists resource materials that may be used by the supervisor to assign self-study programs to CSHO's.

g. It is recommended that CSHO's be allowed to experience a variety of inspection activities in manufacturing, construction, and maritime when accompanying a senior level CSHO in the field.

17

OSHA Instruction TED 1.12A July 7, 1992 Office of Training and Education

Each new-hire CSHO should also have experience in establishments with different Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and should be assigned to both safety officers and industrial hygienists.

5. WAIVER CONDITIONS. The training program outlined in this instruction is mandatory during a CSHO's developmental period.

a. Specifically, all prerequisites must be successfully completed before attendance at #100 Initial Compliance Course. In addition, one of the designated standards courses and #141 Inspection Techniques and Legal Aspects are to be completed during the first year of the CSHO's developmental period. At least two technical courses and one crossover training course must be completed before the CSHO is considered to have completed the developmental period.

b. If a new-hire CSHO has substantial prior safety or health experience and the required formal training program does not meet his/her needs, the employee's supervisor shall design a developmental plan of formal training, in conjunction with the IDP process, that is consistent with the CSHO's background. Any revised formal training plan developed for an individual CSHO shall be approved in accordance with the waiver procedure outlined below in Paragraph J.5.c. When a revised formal training plan is developed and approved, additional requests for waivers from specific mandatory courses are not required.

c. Any waivers from the mandatory program can be granted only by the Regional Administrator after consultation with the Area Director and the ARA/TECFAP. Waiver requests shall be submitted in writing by the Area Director to the Regional Administrator and shall take into consideration how the CSHO has acquired the levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform his/her duties. The Regional Administrator's response to the waiver request shall also be in writing.

18

OSHA Instruction TED 1.12A July 7, 1992 Office of Training and Education

K. MONITORING THE TRAINING PROGRAM. Monitoring the CSHO's progress through the developmental period is critical to ensure success of the training program. Monitoring provides information to the CSHO's supervisor regarding the benefits and effectiveness of the training received. In addition, it provides information on the ability of the CSHO to achieve training goals and objectives. Both the employee's supervisor and the Regional Training Officer play major roles in the monitoring process.

1. The employee's supervisor shall ensure that each CSHO has completed the necessary prerequisites before attending mandatory OSHA training courses.

2. The employee's supervisor shall review the CSHO's performance of required self-study and OJT assignments.

3. The employee's supervisor shall conduct a review with the new-hire CSHO following each required self-study and OJT inspection activity. This review provides the supervisor with information on the progress of the CSHO and can assist in identifying areas requiring further training.

4. When the employee's supervisor determines that the new-hire CSHO has sufficient experience to participate fully in developing the actual case file, the OJT review may be discontinued.

5. The Course Evaluation section of DL Form 1-101, Training Authorization and Evaluation Form, is used to document course completion. The DL Form 1-101 will be returned to the CSHO upon completion of a course. The CSHO and his/her supervisor shall complete the Course Evaluation section and return the form to the OASAM Training Office in accordance with Regional procedures.

6. The Regional Training Officer shall monitor Area Office implementation of the training program outlined in this instruction through review of training documents and through assisting in Regional audits of Area Offices.

L. MAINTENANCE OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF CSHO's BEYOND THE DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD.

1. The agency recognizes that CSHO's require additional training each year to enable them to keep abreast of

19

OSHA Instruction TED 1.12A July 7, 1992 Office of Training and Education

current occupational safety and health issues and developments.

2. At a minimum, each CSHO is required to attend a safety and health related course once every three years. If a Training Institute course has changed significantly during the years, a CSHO is permitted to repeat the course.

3. Participation in training courses or programs shall be consistent with the CSHO's IDP.

4. CSHO's are encouraged to pursue other training opportunities that are available within the Department of Labor and elsewhere.

M. EVALUATION. An evaluation of the effectiveness of this revised training program shall be conducted at the end of the second year from the effective date of the instruction. Staff from the Office of Training and Education shall interview Area Directors, Supervisors, Assistant Area Directors, CSHO's, and designated State 18(b) personnel who have participated in the program to determine whether this instruction provides a feasible and effective technical training plan for compliance personnel and to obtain suggestions for program improvement. Based on the results of the interviews, additional evaluation studies may be developed.
