Common Traps
OSHA 30 is not certification
Completion card ≠ Not certification
PPE is last control
Eliminate first ≠ PPE last
Attendant does not enter
Monitors outside ≠ Rescue by plan
Reportable is not recordable
Report to OSHA ≠ Record on log
Danger beats warning
Danger severe ≠ Warning less severe
Tag alone is weak
Lock isolates ≠ Tag warns
Training hours exclude breaks
Contact hours count ≠ Breaks excluded
Last Minute
- 1.Confirm 30 contact hours
- 2.Remember 7.5 daily cap
- 3.Know four training days
- 4.Use controls hierarchy
- 5.Find SDS section quickly
- 6.Report fatality within 8h
- 7.Report amputations within 24h
- 8.Test oxygen before toxics
- 9.LOTO verify zero energy
- 10.Guard point of operation
- 11.Fit test tight respirators
- 12.Keep exits unobstructed
