Situations requiring retraining include, but are not limited to, the following:  When changes in the workplace render previous training obsolete or inadequate; when changes in the types of fall protection systems or equipment to be used render previous training obsolete or inadequate; or   when inadequacies in an affected employee's knowledge or use of fall protection systems or equipment indicate that the employee no longer has the requisite understanding or skill necessary to use equipment or perform the job safely.   a) On or about November 29, 2018 - Roof, employees were exposed to fall hazards when they had not been trained to know where to find an anchor for a harness/lanyard on the roof, had not been trained to stay 15 feet from all fall hazards if not using fall protection, had not been trained to use a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or a personal fall arrest system (or a designated area when performing work that is both infrequent and temporary) between 6 and 15 feet from fall hazards, and had not been trained to use a guardrail system, safety net system, travel restraint system, or personal fall arrest system if less than 6 feet from a fall hazard.
