Q: Can you tell me where it states that the Supervisor Training is required to be refreshed annually like the HAZWOPER 8 hour?
A: OSHA’s requirement for the refresher training is as follows:
1910.120(e)(8) Refresher training. Employees specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section, and managers and supervisors specified in paragraph (e)(4) of this section, shall receive eight hours of refresher training annually on the items specified in paragraph (e)(2) and/or (e)(4) of this section, any critique of incidents that have occurred in the past year that can serve as training examples of related work, and other relevant topics.
OSHA also points out in some of their interpretations that 8 hours is the minimal time required for the refresher training. Just like employees, supervisors/managers only need a minimum of 8 hours. Where they differ is in the content of the training. Employees and supervisors/managers need to have separate refresher trainings.
