What are the employee training requirements, under OSHA, for subcontractors working on, or around  your plant site?

I require the same training I would if my employees were doing the job.  At the very least you would need to get them trained on PPE, Hazcom, emergency evacuation + anything specific to your line of work, or their line of work.

Thanks for your reply, and I agree with you on your company’s training requirements. I am trying to find some OSHA language (Regs) on this subject. Liability and responsibility does not seem to be enough for the “bean-counters” to do what we all know is right.

Johnny,

See the attached link. It covers hazcomm but is general enough to expand to other programs.

We
always have our subs watch this video prior to letting them on our
worksites:

Although
not required by OSHA...it is required by us as it is a
good video.

I'm lucky, I don't have to deal with bean counters.  I have a boss who understands what he doesn't know and that I am his subject matter expert for EHS.  Unless it is a big ticket Item I have very little issue.  He also knows that I understand that big ticket items most of the time need to be budgetary items and will not normally be addressed quickly.  If I fight for the big ticket items to be done quickly he knows it is something extremely important
