1. (a) The Panel shall not fund general training required by the state or federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA or OSHA) for the operation of a business in California. (See General Industry Safety Orders at Title 8, California Code of Regulations Chapter 3.2).
2. (b) In addition, the Panel shall not fund any other general safety training such as injury and illness prevention, emergency action, evacuation, fire prevention plans, and access to first aid.
3. (c) The Panel may fund special safety training that is directly related to a piece of equipment or process recently acquired, or that an employee is not familiar with. However, this training cannot exceed 10% of the total training hours per trainee, except with prior written approval upon a showing of good cause.
4. (d) some occupations, by the very nature of the work, require intensive skills training in safety procedures. For example, a training curriculum for workers engaged in environmental clean-up and oil/gas extraction might include a concentration of safety procedures. This type of safety training is not subject to the restrictions herein.
