Topic: Adoption (CR-103) – High Hazard Facilities Appendix Update
Brief Description: This rulemaking updates chapter 296-71 WAC, Refinery worker training and certification in high hazard facilities. The adoption creates WAC 296-71-060, Appendix A: Training course content – Nonmandatory. Appendix A was published in WSR 22-19-101 and located in WAC 296-71-050, making it hard to find for readers utilizing training course content. L&I worked with stakeholders in November 2022 to make some clarifications to the appendix, which helped assist training providers preparing curriculum and avoid unintended jurisdiction issues. This updated version will be located in the new WAC section. References to Appendix A in WAC 296-71-030 were also updated. The update does not affect existing courses that have already been approved by L&I.
Effective date: July 5, 2024
