It covers confined spaces, electrical safety, fire prevention, first aid and emergency action, hand and power tools, hazard communication, lockout tagout, machine guarding, and material handling and storage including powered industrial trucks, cranes, hoists, and slings. Additional sections address PPE, signs and signals, walking working surfaces, welding and cutting, and administration items such as required posters.
