Since Montana doesn't have its own Occupational Safety and Health regulatory program, its state law requires workers to obtain safety training for their job operations. Simultaneously, OSHA requires that employers ensure their workers are adequately trained on specific safety standards.

 

Additionally, both Federal OSHA and Montana Law require refresher training, for which Montana law advises refresher training annually, while on the other hand, OSHA sets standard-specific training.

 

Moreover, Montana's State law mandates oral and written safety orientation for all employees before initiating their daily jobs. This is because it comprises first aid, fire, safety, preventative measures, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), job site hazards, and accidents.

 

OSHA suggests entry-level workers enroll in OSHA 10 Hour courses and workers with managerial roles enroll in OSHA 30 Hour courses because OSHA Outreach Training comprises essential topics pertinent to different job operations.

 

Even though private-sector employers provide workers training relevant to OSHA Hazard Communication (HazCom), Montana has its separate law for Hazardous Chemical Communication, also called the Employee and Community Hazardous Chemical Information Act (ECHCIA). It enforces training obligations for public-sector workers.
