- Employers must provide a safe and healthful workplace.
OSHA 1910.156 (c)( 1): The
employer shall provide
training and education for all fire brigade members commensurate with
those duties and functions that fire brigade members are expected to
perform. Such training and education shall be provided to fire brigade
members before they perform fire brigade emergency activities. Fire
brigade leaders and training instructors shall be provided with
training and education which is more comprehensive than that provided

- Before you assign an employee to perform a task, the employee
must be trained to do the task.
OSHA 1910.156 (c)( 2): The employer shall assure that training and education is conducted frequently enough to assure that each member of the fire brigade is able to perform the member's assigned duties and functions satisfactorily and in a safe manner so as not to endanger fire brigade members or other employees. All fire brigade members shall be provided with training at least annually. In addition, fire brigade members who are expected to perform interior structural fire fighting shall be provided with an education session or training at least quarterly.
