Whose signature is required on the certification record?

The requirement for a signature on the certification record indicates an acknowledgment that the training has taken place and that the content has been delivered adequately. The signature of the person who conducted the training or the employer's signature serves as a verification that the training was provided in compliance with OSHA standards. This accountability measure ensures that the training meets necessary regulatory requirements and confirms the trainer's qualifications.

This approach emphasizes the importance of having a trained and capable individual responsible for delivering the content, safeguarding that the information shared is accurate and relevant. The employer's signature also endorses the commitment to uphold safety standards within the organization. The involvement of both the trainer and the employer in signing the record reinforces the integrity of the training process and the organization’s dedication to occupational safety.
