We also include the records relating to worker training provided by a construc-tion industry occupational safety and health program approved by Cal/OSHA.

Inspection records and training documentation will be maintained according to the following checked schedule:

For one year, except for training records of employees who have worked for less than one year whichareprovidedtotheworkeruponterminationofemployment;or

Since we have less than ten workers, including managers and supervisors, we maintain inspection recordsonlyuntilthehazardiscorrectedandonlymaintainalogofinstructionstoworkerswithrespect to worker job assignments when they are first hired or assigned new duties.
