The induction safety briefing introduces the organization of safe work, general hazards, routes, emergency actions and first aid. The initial safety briefing is conducted at the workplace before independent work and includes demonstration of safe techniques. Refresher briefings reinforce the initial requirements; intervals are determined by the Rules according to the employee’s category. Unscheduled briefings are conducted following prescribed changes and incidents, identified violations and other established grounds. Task-specific briefings take place before the relevant one-off work, work under a permit to work and in other prescribed cases. The instructor checks understanding of the requirements; an unsatisfactory result does not authorize work. The reason for an unscheduled or task-specific briefing is recorded when it is registered. Additions reflecting actual conditions: Procedure for induction, initial, refresher, unscheduled and task-specific safety briefings​ The safety briefing concludes with a knowledge check; results and the signatures of the employee and instructor are recorded in the form established by the employer, containing the mandatory details required by the Rules. This regulation does not establish exemptions from safety briefings or training.

After the required training and safety briefing, the employee practices safe techniques under the supervision of an appointed, trained person. The program specifies operations, duration and criteria for proficiency; the duration must be at least two shifts. Independent work before a satisfactory result is prohibited. Completion is confirmed by a document stating dates, the scope of work mastered, the result and signatures.

Additions reflecting actual conditions: List of employees requiring supervised on-the-job training, programs, supervisors, duration and authorization​ Supervised on-the-job training takes place after the required training and safety briefings, under the supervision of an appointed employee; its duration is at least two shifts. Record the shifts, period, trainee’s and supervisor’s signatures, and date of authorization for independent work.

Trainee categories are determined according to their duties and the requirements of the Rules. Where first aid is taught as a separate program, it must last at least eight hours, with practical sessions accounting for at least half the time. Practice safe assessment of the situation, calling for assistance and the techniques prescribed by the program using training aids. The trainer must meet the training requirements. Training concludes with assessment of knowledge and skills; a brief mention of first aid during a safety briefing does not replace this training. Additions reflecting actual conditions: First aid: categories, program, trainers, practical work and deadlines​ The employer identifies the PPE whose use requires practical skills and the employees concerned. Practice inspection, putting on, adjustment, use, removal and actions in the event of PPE failure; the practical component accounts for at least half the program’s duration. Training in the use of PPE cannot be replaced by issuing the manufacturer’s instructions; for other PPE, inspection and use procedures are explained during the safety briefing. Additions reflecting actual conditions: PPE training: PPE list, categories, program, practical work and deadlines​

Assessment is conducted by a commission whose members have been trained under the relevant programs. Knowledge of requirements and performance of practical tasks are evaluated. The result is documented in an assessment record containing employee and employer details, the program, training hours, assessment date and result, and the required signatures. An unsatisfactory result prevents authorization for independent work and requires reassessment within 30 calendar days. Authorization following a successful assessment is confirmed by an authorized manager. Additions reflecting actual conditions: Knowledge assessment arrangements and commission membership​ Training concludes with knowledge assessment. Commission membership, members’ training and assessment methods must comply with Section VII of the Rules. An unsatisfactory result precludes independent work; reassessment must take place no later than 30 calendar days after that assessment.

Results are documented in assessment records containing the details required by paragraph 92 of the Rules, including the registration number of the trained person’s entry, either directly in the record or in the signed extract attached as provided by the Rules. Safety briefings and supervised on-the-job training are registered separately. The coordinator maintains a training register and retains programs, documents confirming trainers’ qualifications, assessment records and safety briefing records. Data is reconciled with personnel changes; corrections must remain traceable. Employees receive information on upcoming training and assessment results. Additions reflecting actual conditions: Recording forms, persons responsible for registers, storage location and procedure​ Before issuing an assignment, the manager checks that authorization is current. The coordinator monitors upcoming deadlines, informs managers and organizes unscheduled preparation where grounds exist. Violations are recorded in a log with the person responsible, remedial deadline and evidence of the result. Additions reflecting actual conditions: Updating and internal monitoring procedure​
