29 CFR 1910.9(b): Training. Standards in this part requiring training on hazards and related matters, such as standards requiring that employees receive training or that the employer train employees, provide training to employees, or institute or implement a training program, impose a separate compliance duty with respect to each employee covered by the requirement. The employer must train each affected employee in the manner required by the standard, and each failure to train an employee may be considered a separate violation:    (a) On or about April 17, 2017, an employee operating a Honda Power Equipment Lawn Mower, HRC2 1 6HXA, MAKA-1141327 cleaning grass from the chute, was not properly trained, and was exposed to an amputation hazard.
