Frequently Asked Questions
This course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements outlined in OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.1026 and 29 CFR 1926.1126.
Hexavalent chromium, also known as Cr (VI), is a toxic form of chromium generated during high-temperature industrial activities. These activities include welding, cutting, and coating operations. It enters the body through inhalation or skin absorption and can cause serious health effects, including lung cancer.
Common sources include welding, cutting, or grinding stainless steel. Exposure also occurs from chromate-based paints, coatings, electroplating, and surface coating removal. Workers may encounter exposure during pigment production or while handling contaminated materials during remediation. Exposure mainly occurs through inhalation of dusts, fumes, and mists. Skin contact is another common route of exposure.
This OSHA Hexavalent Chromium Training is important as it:
- Offers the knowledge necessary for understanding hexavalent chromium hazards, routes of exposure, and the detrimental health risks associated with it on the job site.
- Supports the safe job site operations by providing workers, supervisors, and competent persons with effective strategies to prevent exposure, utilize control strategies effectively, and follow work practices.
- Fosters a safer work environment by ensuring awareness of OSHA standards regarding hexavalent chromium, remediation planning, and measures for preventing contamination.
- Our training complies with current federal OSHA Hexavalent Chromium safety standards 29 CFR 1910.1026 and 29 CFR 1926.1126 to meet all safety and health requirements in the workplace.
- The course is designed by safety and compliance experts with a deep understanding of hexavalent chromium hazards, exposure, and remediation.
- Upon completing the course, the learners will be awarded a certificate of completion confirming that they completed the OSHA Hexavalent Chromium Workplace Safety Training course successfully.
- Various training formats, i.e., online, virtual instructor-led, and in-person training, are available for delivering training.
- Supervisors of work activities that may involve hexavalent chromium or its generation.
- Safety officers and compliance managers who oversee implementing and maintaining OSHA Chromium VI Compliance.
- Competent Persons designated to recognize the hazards of hexavalent chromium and assess exposure conditions on the job site.
- Crew leads and foremen overseeing activities like welding, cutting, grinding, surface preparation, etc.
- Persons who are potentially exposed to hexavalent chromium through regular activities, maintenance work, or remediation work.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Yes. Refresher training is required when job tasks, regulations, exposure conditions, or control measures change. It is also needed if employees show a lack of understanding of safe practices. Refresher training is also required when employees have demonstrated a lack of understanding of safe practices.
An annual refresher cycle is recommended to maintain awareness and ensure compliance.
Certificate of Completion: Immediately after passing the final exam, you can download, save, or print your certificate in PDF format.
Validity: The course certificate is valid for one year.
Renewal: Simply take this course in 12 months to maintain compliance and stay up to date on hexavalent chromium hazards, controls, and remediation.
