Industrial safety training should be designed to increase the trainee's awareness of the hazards

associated with the industrial environment and the precautions to be observed and practiced in the

referenced. Industrial safety training should include topical areas such as:

Lock and tag program

Industrial safety hazards

Additional training should be designed to cover those portions of the facility industrial safety manual

not addressed by this Appendix or by the general employee training program. This Appendix

identifies recommended knowledge and skills requirements for the topical areas listed above. These

are based, in part, on the general industrial Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

requirements, and are applicable to all maintenance personnel.
