When is refresher training required by California and federal regulations?

CA-8 CCR 3668(d); Fed-29 CFR 1910.1798 (l)(4)(i) Refresher training and evaluation. . . .

   (1) Refresher training in relevant topics shall be provided to the operator when:

   (A) The operator has been observed to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner;

   (B) The operator has been involved in an accident or near-miss incident;

   (C) The operator has received an evaluation that reveals that the operator is not operating the truck safely;

   (D) The operator is assigned to drive a different type of truck; or

     In addition, other significant factors will require refresher training sooner. Some of these factors include:
     When accidents or near misses have occurred,
     When new equipment is introduced into the workplace,
     When Changes in conditions or applications in the workplace have taken place,
     When observations of an operator and his/her job performance would warrant immediate corrective action, then "refresher" training would be required.

We have available a very cost effective, time efficient, comprehensive refresher training course.
