• New guidelines developed by DOL with input from OFPC on how to comply with 29 CFR 1910.156
• Major differences from the “Schrenk Memo”:
─ There is no longer a focus on the amount of hours prescribed for each topic. Training takes as long as it takes, so long as it is effective.
─ The memo recommends specific OFPC courses to fulfill the requirements of the law. These courses are only recommended – not mandatory.
─ Train to the hazards firefighters will face to be compliant.
