12、 of America American National Standard Foreword (This Foreword is not a part of American National Standard Z490.1 2016.) The charter of the American National Standards Committee Z490 on Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training was accredited by the American Nation
13、al Standards Institute on April 1, 1998. This standard grew out of the recognized need for improvement in safety, health and environmental training. Quality training is required to ensure that workers and safety, health and environmental professionals have the knowledge, skills and abilities necessa
14、ry to protect themselves and others in the workplace. Safety, health and environmental training is an important element of an effective overall safety, health and environmental program. Historically, safety, health and environmental training has been specifically addressed by only a few regulations
15、with limited scope, such as asbestos, hazard communication and storm water management. The regulations usually specify the technical topics to be covered in a training course, but do not stipulate how to adequately design, develop, deliver and evaluate training. This standard covers all facets of tr
16、aining, including training development, delivery, evaluation and management of training and training programs. Thus, the criteria were developed by combining accepted practices in the training industry with those in the safety, health and environmental industries. The standard is intended to apply t
17、o a broad range of training and training programs. Industry employers may use this standard to assess the services of external training providers or to audit or improve their own corporate training programs. Training providers may use the standard to assess and improve their training services. This
18、standard may also be used as a basis for development and management of training and training programs, with the annexes and references providing additional information and detail. Governmental regulations specify mandatory requirements for various safety, health and environmental training. Likewise,
19、 the training program may be embedded in a larger safety, human resources or other organizational structure. As a broad-based voluntary consensus standard, this document complements the regulations and organizational policies. However, compliance with this standard does not ensure compliance with go
20、vernmental regulations or organizational policies, or vice versa. The Z490 Committee solicits public input that may suggest revisions to the standard. Such input should be sent to the Secretariat, American Society of Safety Engineers, 520 N. Northwest Highway, Park Ridge, IL 60068. This standard was
21、 developed and approved for submittal to ANSI by the American National Standards Committee on Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training, Z490. Committee approval of the standard does not imply that all members voted for its approval. At the time of its approval, th
22、e Z490 Standards Committee consisted of the following members: John W. Mroszczyk, Ph.D., P.E., CSP, Chair Frank Perry, P.E., CSP, Vice Chair Ovidiu Munteanu, Secretary Timothy R. Fisher, CSP, CHMM, ARM, CPEA, Assistant Secretary Dan McNeill, Assistant Secretary Jennie Dalesandro, Administrative Tech
23、nical Support Organization Represented Name of Representative AHMP Association of Hazardous Materials Carl Heinlein, CSP, ARM, CRIS Professionals Reggie Suga, CHMM Alexander resources available to the trainer and trainees; delivery strategy(ies) appro-priate and effective for the learning objectives
24、; appropriate evaluation stra-tegy(ies) included in all training; and a system to evaluate the overall quality of the program managed to ensure consist-ency and continuous improve-ment. should be noted that the ANSI/ASSE Z10 standard provides one example of a structure for an effective management sy
25、stem. Such a system is designed to ensure that training is in an integrated program rather than a series of non-related training events. Integrating the training into the overall management system also ensures that the training is properly supported by the organization. It is important to remember t
26、hat training alone cannot ensure a safe, healthy and environmentally sound work environment, nor can it ensure regulatory compliance. Examples of effective management systems are provided under the ISO 14001 and 14004 management programs. See Annex A for references on training development programs.
27、3.1 Accountability and Responsi-bility. Responsibility and accountability for each element of the training program shall be clearly identified. E3.1 The responsible individual(s) that will be providing each element of the training program should be defined. Similarly, the individual(s) that will be
28、answerable for each element of the training program should be identified. 3.2 Minimum Training Require-ments. The training program shall, at a minimum, include the following elements: training development and needs assessment including learning objectives, course design and format, resource material
29、s and criteria for course completion in conformance with Section 4; training delivery in conform-ance with Section 5; E3.2 In addition, a management system should be established and maintained. The management system should be established in accordance with recognized standards. See Annex A for refer
30、ences on manage-ment systems.
