    Background: The California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) is
advancing the environmental review of the Burbank to Los Angeles
Section (Project) of the California HSR System pursuant to 23 U.S.C.
327, under which it has assumed FRA's environmental review
responsibilities. However, under Section 327, FRA remains responsible
for making General Conformity Determinations under the Clean Air Act.
This draft General Conformity Determination documents FRA's evaluation
of the Burbank to Los Angeles Section, consistent with the relevant
section of the Clean Air Act and its implementing regulations.
    FRA's analysis of the Project's potential emissions, completed in
close collaboration with CHSRA and informed by CHSRA's coordination
with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) and the California Air Resources Board,
found that Project-generated emissions will either be offset for its
construction phase, or will be less than zero for its operational
phase; and therefore, the Action's emissions can be accommodated in the
Statewide Implementation Plan (SIP) for the South Coast Air Basin. FRA
concludes that the Project, as designed, will conform to the approved
SIP, based on a commitment from the CHSRA that construction-phase
NOX emissions will be offset consistent with the applicable
federal regulations in the SCAQMD.

Next Steps

    The draft General Conformity Determination for the California High-
Speed Rail System, Burbank to Los Angeles Section is being issued for
public review and comment for 30-days at Docket No. FRA-2021-0082.
Comments related to Docket No. FRA-2021-0082 may be submitted by going
to http://www.regulations.gov and following the online instructions for
submitting comments. Although CHSRA is assisting FRA by disseminating
notice of the availability of the draft General Conformity
Determination through its usual outreach methods, CHSRA is not
accepting comments on behalf of FRA. FRA cannot ensure consideration of
any comment that is not submitted via http://www.regulations.gov. FRA
will consider all relevant comments it

receives before issuing a final General Conformity Determination.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Model SA332C, L, L1,
and L2 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
specified Eurocopter France (ECF) model helicopters. This AD results
from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated
by an aviation authority to identify and correct an unsafe condition on
an aviation product. The European Safety Agency (EASA), the Technical
Agent for France, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in
the MCAI:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following the
failure of an attachment bolt securing the main rotor RH servo-
control to the non-rotating swash-plate.
    Failure of the servo-control/swash-plate attachment in flight
leads to a catastrophic situation.
    This AD requires actions that are intended to address this same
unsafe condition.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 8, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of Eurocoper Alert Service Bulletin No. 67.00.36, dated
October 9, 2006, as of February 8, 2008.
    We must receive comments on this AD by March 24, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Streamlined Issuance of AD

    The FAA is implementing a new process for streamlining the issuance
of ADs related to MCAI. This streamlined process will allow us to adopt
MCAI safety requirements in a more efficient manner and will reduce
safety risks to the public. This process continues to follow all FAA AD
issuance processes to meet legal, economic, Administrative Procedure
Act, and Federal Register requirements. We also continue to meet our
technical decision-making responsibilities to identify and correct
unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated products.
    This AD references the MCAI and related service information that we
considered in forming the engineering basis to correct the unsafe
condition. The AD contains text copied from the MCAI and for this
reason might not follow our plain language principles.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the technical
agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued
Airworthiness Directive No. 2006-0306-E, dated October 10, 2006, to
correct an unsafe condition for the French-certificated products. The
MCAI states:

    This Airworthiness Directive (AD) is issued following the
failure of an attachment bolt securing the main rotor RH servo-
control to the non-rotating swash-plate.
    Failure of the servo-control/swash-plate attachment in flight
leads to a catastrophic situation.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI and
service information in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    ECF has issued Alert Service Bulletin No. 67.00.36, dated October
9, 2006. The actions described in the MCAI are intended to correct the
same unsafe condition as that identified in the service information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
member states of the European community and is approved for operation
in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with France,
the State of Design, a member of the European community, we have been
notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all pertinent
information and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to
exist or develop on other products of these same type designs.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. However, our AD differs from the
MCAI and service information as follows: We have changed the word
``check'' to ``inspect'' to more clearly indicate that we are requiring
the work to be performed by a certificated mechanic. Also, this AD does
not require that the operator send the information to the manufacturer
as specified in the ASB. In making these changes, we do not intend to
differ substantively from the information provided in the MCAI and
related service information. These differences are highlighted in the
``Differences Between the FAA AD and the MCAI'' section within the AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because the
EASA AD was issued following the failure of an attachment bolt securing
the main rotor right-hand servo-control or swash plate attachment in
flight, which can lead to a complete loss of control of the helicopter.
Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment
before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2008-0044; Directorate
Identifier 2007-SW-40-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 4 helicopters of U.S. registry
and will take about 3 work hours to inspect the bolts. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $600
for three bolts per helicopter. Based on these figures, we estimate the
total cost to be $3,360.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

leads to a catastrophic situation.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Within 15 hours time-in-service (TIS), unless already done,
do the following actions:
    (1) For each swashplate attachment bolt, part number 332A31-
1340-21, having 500 or more hours time-in-service, inspect for
tightening torque, wear, and a crack in each of these three bolts
that attach the main servo controls to the nonrotating swashplate.
Do this inspection by following the Accomplishment Instructions,
paragraph 2.B. and Figure 1, of Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin
No. 67.00.36, dated October 9, 2006 (ASB).
    (2) If there is a crack in a bolt or if the differential wear on
a bolt between areas F, G, and H (as depicted in Figure 1 of the
ASB) is more than 0.005 millimeter, replace the bolt with an
airworthy bolt before further flight.

Differences Between the FAA AD and the MCAI

    (f) We have changed the word ``check'' to ``inspect'' to more
clearly indicate that we are requiring the work to be performed by a
certificated mechanic. Also, this AD does not require that the

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD
No. 2017-0208, dated October 13, 2017 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    Power loss and engine RPM drop have been reported on Rotax 912/
914 engines in service. It has been determined that, due to a
quality control deficiency in the manufacturing process of certain
valve push-rod assemblies, manufactured between 08 June 2016 and 02
October 2017 inclusive, partial wear on the rocker arm ball socket
may occur, which may lead to malfunction of the valve train.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, may lead to rough
engine operation and loss of power, possibly resulting in a forced
landing, with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to
occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, BRP-Rotax issued
Service Bulletin (SB) SB-912 i-008/SB-912-070/SB-914-052 (single
document), providing applicable instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection and, depending on findings, replacement of affected
parts. This [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of affected parts
on an engine.

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
1078.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG has issued Rotax Aircraft Engines BRP
Service Bulletin SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070 R1/SB-914-052 R1 (co-
published as one document), Revision 1, dated October 12, 2017. The
service information describes procedures for inspecting and, if
necessary, replacing the valve push-rod assembly on the left and/or
right rocker arms. This service information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section
of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 63 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per
product to comply with the basic inspection requirement of this
proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required
parts would cost about $70 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $9,765, or $155 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 2 work-hours to replace all 8 valve push-rod assemblies and
associated parts on all 4 cylinders and require parts costing $3,093,
for a cost of $3,263 per product. We have no way of determining the
number of products that may need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders, and
domestic business jet transport airplanes to the Director of the Policy
and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 85:
Reciprocating Engine.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as defective valve
push-rod assemblies manufactured from June 8, 2016, through October
2, 2017. We are issuing this AD to prevent rough engine operation,
which could cause loss of power and result in loss of control.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) For aircraft with engines that have 160 hours time-in-
service (TIS) or less since first installed: Before exceeding 170
hours TIS on the engine since first installed or within the next 3
months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first,
visually inspect the valve push-rod ball sockets of each valve push-
rod using the Accomplishment Instructions in Rotax Aircraft Engines

(co-published as one document), Revision 1, dated October 12, 2017
(Rotax SB SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070 R1/SB-914-052 R1).
    (2) For airplanes with engines that have 160 hours TIS or more
since first installed: Within the next 10 hours TIS after the
effective date of this AD or within the next 3 months after the
effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, visually inspect
the valve push-rod ball sockets of each valve push-rod using the
Accomplishment Instructions in Rotax SB SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070
R1/SB-914-052 R1.
    (3) For all affected airplanes: If a valve push-rod with a black
surface is found during the inspection required in paragraph (f)(1)
or (f)(2) of this AD, before further flight, replace the valve push-
rod and its affected parts with airworthy parts using the
Accomplishment Instructions in Rotax SB SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070
R1/SB-914-052 R1.
    (4) For all affected airplanes: As of the effective date of this
AD, do not install a valve push-rod that was manufactured from June
8, 2016, through October 2, 2017.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:

Appendix A
Added the National Association of Landscape Professionals  -  Approved January 24, 2018

I.	Trainer Requirements. Requirements for Construction trainers authorized through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Outreach Training Program are contained in the following documents:

   A.	OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements. This document covers the requirements for OSHA authorized trainers in all OSHA Outreach Training Programs.
   B.	OSHA Outreach Training Program - Construction Industry Procedures. This document contains specific industry requirements.
   C.	OSHA Outreach Training Program Investigation and Review Procedures. These procedures are used by OSHA to process complaints or allegations of failure to comply with OSHA Outreach Training Program requirements. These procedures ensure program compliance and due process for resolving these issues.

II.	Construction Industry Summary

   A.	Program Purpose. The OSHA Outreach Training Program for the Construction Industry teaches construction workers about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to identify, abate, avoid, and prevent job related hazards.
   B.	Voluntary Program. This training program is voluntary. It does not meet training requirements in any OSHA standard. While some jurisdictions, employers, and unions require Construction OSHA Outreach Training Program training to work on construction sites and to fulfill their safety training goals, OSHA considers the program voluntary. Workers must receive additional training on hazards specific to their job. See OSHA Publication #2254, Training Requirements in OSHA Standards (http://www.osha.gov/Publications/ osha2254.pdf) to review OSHA's training requirements.
   C.	Construction Procedures. These procedures provide instructions for Construction industry authorized Outreach trainers. The procedures are designed to ensure consistency of classes and that students receive the best possible training. The OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements cover the requirements for all OSHA authorized trainers in every OSHA Outreach Training Program.

III.	Authorized OSHA Outreach Training Program Trainer Designation

   A.  OSHA Authorized Construction Trainer Eligibility. To be eligible to become an authorized Outreach trainer, a person must, at a minimum, meet the following two prerequisites which consist of both a training and experience component:
      1.	Five years of construction safety experience. Please note that `working safely' in the industry does not meet the industry safety experience requirement. A bachelor's degree (or higher) in occupational safety and health or industrial hygiene from an accredited college or university, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP), or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation, in the applicable training area may be substituted for a total of two years of experience.
      2.	Completion of OSHA #510, Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry.
         a)	To meet trainer eligibility requirements, this course must be completed not later than seven (7) calendar years before completing the Trainer course. OSHA Standards courses completed more than seven years before a Trainer course end date must be retaken.
         b)	Please note that the 30-hour Construction Outreach class is not considered equivalent to OSHA #510 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry. The 30-hour Construction Outreach class is a hazards-based class, which is delivered by OSHA authorized trainers. The OSHA #510 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry course covers OSHA standards and is only offered through the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) or the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers.
   B.	Becoming an OSHA Authorized Construction Trainer. Experience cannot be substituted for the training prerequisite component. OSHA does not issue waivers for these prerequisites. After satisfying the prerequisites, a person must complete OSHA #500 Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry. This course includes knowledge and performance-based tests. Trainers must pass both of these tests to become an authorized trainer.
   C.	Update Requirement. To remain current on relevant OSHA matters and ensure quality training, OSHA Authorized Construction Trainers are required to complete the OSHA #502 Update for Construction Industry Outreach Trainers course every four years. The OSHA #500 Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Construction Industry may also be used to maintain a trainer's authorized status.If a trainer's authorization has expired, they will be unable to conduct OSHA Outreach Training Program classes and receive student course completion cards.
   D.	Course Offerings. The OSHA Outreach Training Program trainer courses are offered exclusively at the OTI Education Centers. Each OTI Education Center posts course offerings, schedule, and locations on their individual Web site. This information is also available on the OSHA Web page at http://www.osha.gov/otiec.

IV.	Construction Industry Procedures . This section contains information on the procedures for conducting Construction OSHA Outreach Training Program training classes. Trainers are responsible for understanding and complying with these procedures when planning and conducting their Construction OSHA Outreach Training Program classes. Student course completion cards in the Construction OSHA Outreach Training Program do not expire. Please note that expiration dates may be imposed by other entities but are not an OSHA requirement.

   A.	10-Hour Construction Industry  -  Designated Training Topics. This training program is intended to provide entry level construction workers information about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job related hazards on a construction site. The training covers a variety of construction safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter at a construction site. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, not OSHA standards. Learning objectives and training materials for some of these topics are provided in all trainer classes and available on the OSHA Outreach Training Program website (https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/index.html). Instructional time must be a minimum of 10 hours. The minimum topic requirements are as follows:
      1.	Mandatory - 6 hours
         a)	Introduction to OSHA  -  1 hour.
            (1)	OSHA has required training content for this module - see https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/teachingaids.html.
            (2)	Covers workers' rights, employer responsibilities and how to file a complaint. It includes helpful worker safety and health resources. It also provides samples of a weekly fatality and catastrophe report, safety data sheet and the OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300).
            (3)	Materials include an Instructor Guide, student handouts, and participatory activities.
         b)	OSHA Focus Four Hazards  -  4 hours. Because most construction fatalities are caused by fall hazards, falls must be covered for a minimum of one hour and 30 minutes. The remaining three Focus Four Hazard topics must be covered for a minimum of one-half hour each.
            (1)	Falls (minimum one hour and 30 minutes)
            (2)	Electrocution
            (3)	Struck-By (e.g., falling objects, trucks, cranes)
            (4)	Caught-In or Between (e.g., trench hazards, equipment)
Focus Four Hazards Training Requirements
All lessons for the Focus Four Hazards are required to use the following terminal (TO) and enabling (EO) objectives:

   TO: Given current OSHA and industry information regarding construction worksite illnesses, injuries, and/or fatalities, the student will be able to recognize [fall, caught-in or between, struck-by, electrocution] hazards in construction.

Specifically for each of the focus four, the student will be able to:
   EO 1:	Identify major hazards
   EO 2:	Describe types of hazards
   EO 3:	Protect him/herself from these hazards
   EO 4: 	Recognize employer requirements to protect workers from these hazards
Because these objectives are the expected student outcomes, trainers:
1)	May not vary from these objectives when planning the training session; and
2) 	Must follow the participatory training model by applying effective training techniques;

Lesson plans for the Focus Four hazards can be found at https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/construction/focus_four/index.html

         c)	Personal Protective and Lifesaving Equipment  -  30 minutes.
         d)	Health Hazards in Construction  -  30 minutes. May teach noise, hazard communication, and crystalline silica or any other construction health hazard.
      2.	Elective - 2 hours. Must present at least two hours of training on the following topics. At least two topics must be presented. The minimum length of any topic is one-half hour.
         a)	Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Elevators, and Conveyors
         b)	Excavations
         c)	Materials Handling, Storage, Use and Disposal
         d)	Scaffolds
         e)	Stairways and Ladders
         f)	Tools - Hand and Power
      3.	Optional - 2 hours. Teach other construction industry hazards or policies and/or expand on the mandatory or elective topics. The minimum length of any topic is one-half hour.
   B.	30-Hour Construction Industry OSHA Outreach Training Program  -  Designated Training Topics. The 30-hour Construction OSHA Outreach Training Program is intended to provide a variety of training to workers with some safety responsibility. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, not OSHA standards. Instructional time must be a minimum of 30 hours. The topic requirements are as follows:
      1.	Mandatory - 14 hours
         a)	Introduction to OSHA  -  1 hour.
            (1)	OSHA has required training content for this module - see https://www.osha.gov/dte/outreach/teachingaids.html.
            (2)	Covers workers' rights, employer responsibilities and how to file a complaint. It includes helpful worker safety and health resources. It also provides a sample weekly fatality and catastrophe report, a safety data sheet and the OSHA Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA Form 300).

Focus Four Hazards Training Requirements
All lessons for the Focus Four Hazards are required to use the following terminal (TO) and enabling (EO) objectives:
   TO: Given current OSHA and industry information regarding construction worksite illnesses, injuries, and/or fatalities, the student will be able to recognize [fall, caught-in or between, struck-by, electrocution] hazards in construction.
Specifically for each of the focus four, the student will be able to:
   EO 1:	Identify major hazards
   EO 2:	Describe types of hazards
   EO 3:	Protect him/herself from these hazards
   EO 4: 	Recognize employer requirements to protect workers from these hazards
Because these objectives are the expected student outcomes, trainers:
1)	May not vary from these objectives when planning the training session; and
2) 	Must follow the participatory training model by applying effective training techniques;
