Abstract

Preliminary studies reveal that serious deficiencies exist in occupational safety and health training programs within DOE's fossil fuel programs. The basic requirements of Executive Order 12196, 29 CFR 1960 (both earlier and current versions) and Chapter III, ASFE 5480.1 are not being addressed in an adequate fashion. The principal deficiencies are a lack of sufficient funding for both employee and safety and health staff training, and inadequate or non-existent documentation of training for top management, intermediate levels of management, and supervisors. Similar deficiencies exist in varying degrees for other employees. It is apparent that the full extent of the training requirements in OSHA 29 CFR 1910 standards has not been recognized and implemented within the ETCs.
