OSHA training requirements by role

The mapping is a rules table, not a model. Each of the 22 selections switches on a fixed set of rows, and a row that several selections point at appears once: powered industrial truck training is turned on by the operator role, by having trucks in the building, and by charging batteries, and one row is what you need. Nothing ticked returns nothing, which is why the page cannot be used as a generic list of everything in Part 1910.

Where the citations come from. 14 of the 22 rows carry a clause copied from the library template named beside them, and a unit test re-reads the template data on every build to confirm that template really cites it. The remaining rows cite a clause the library does not carry at that paragraph, and each one carries a verbatim run of the paragraph read from the eCFR versioner API on 2 September 2026 against title 29 issue 2026-08-31.scripts/training-matrix-check.mjs re-fetches every section and fails if a stored quotation is no longer in the paragraph it names.

Where the intervals come from, and where they do not. A period appears on a row only where the cited paragraph prints one, and the data model enforces that: an interval is a separate shape from an event trigger, so a number cannot be typed into a row by habit. That matters most where industry practice is annual and the standard is silent. Hazard communication training (1910.1200(h)) is required at initial assignment and when a new hazard arrives, with no interval. PPE training (1910.132(f)) is required before the work and again when circumstances change, with no interval. Energy control training (1910.147(c)(7)) has no interval either; the annual clock in that standard is on the periodic inspection of the procedure, not on the training. The rows say so rather than rounding them up to annual.

Two distinctions this page keeps that a lot of matrices collapse. Forklift refresher training (1910.178(l)(4)(ii)) is event-driven and has no clock; the three-year clock in 1910.178(l)(4)(iii) is on the evaluation. And 1910.132 requires a written certification of the hazard assessment, not of the PPE training, so the PPE row says the standard asks for no training certificate.

This is a starting point built from the federal general industry standards, and it is not legal advice. It covers 29 CFR 1910 training clauses only: it does not cover DOT hazmat employee training under 49 CFR 172.704 (the warehouse SOP checklist does), the written programs the same standards ask for, or anything triggered by a substance or a process this page does not ask about, such as asbestos, lead, process safety management, or hazardous waste operations. Where it does ask about something it aims to be complete for 1910, but a few duties sit just outside a row: permit space rescue by your own employees brings 1910.146(k)(2) with it, and the access to exposure records notice in 1910.1020(g)(1) is an annual duty rather than training. A state plan state may impose more than the federal standard and often does. Have a qualified safety professional review the result against your facility.
