There are 33 provisions in OSHA's
safety standards (parts 1910, 1915, and 1926) that require
employers to conduct tests, inspections, maintenance checks, or
training and to prepare a certification record which indicates the
date of the test, inspection, maintenance check, or training and
what was inspected, etc. The record must be signed and kept on
file.

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
