It is intended to set a common understanding on training requirements between the CFTE personnel and the *** (BPA) managers/supervisors. BPA Requesting Managers should complete this form and coordinate with BPA Supplemental Labor Office during the procurement process to ensure the CFTE position includes a list of required trainings associated with identified tasks, conditions, and exposures.

This form is intended only as a reference document for contractors.

Instructions for BPA Requesting Manager: This template has been pre-populated with tasks and hazards generally associated with CFTE non-craft positions. BPA Requesting Managers must review this document during the CFTE procurement process. The BPA Requesting Manager will:

Select the checkbox next to each task/condition/exposure that may be encountered during the normal course of the assignment.

Identify if the mitigation for applicable tasks/conditions/exposures will be provided by BPA or the Contractor (supplier).

Indicate when the mitigation must occur (pre-hire, post-hire, pre-task).

Pre-Hire Training should be completed prior to the CFTE starting their assignment.

Post-Hire training should be completed prior to exposure to a hazardous environment and/or conducting work at a BPA worksite.

Pre-Task Training should be completed prior to conducting the associated task.

Once complete, the BPA Requesting Manager will send the completed document to the Supplemental Labor Management Office.

The listed tasks, conditions, and exposures are not all inclusive. New processes, unusual tasks, or equipment may trigger the need for specialized training. Consult with your local Safety Manager or BPA Safety Training Manager for guidance.

BPA provided safety training will be the same training provided to Federal Workers.

For the General Comments section, BPA Requesting Managers can list anything that was not already covered and provide clarification to the BPA COR to better understand the CFTE position. It may include tasks, conditions, and/or exposures that are unique to a particular position, work site, or person.

For more information on the PHA process/requirement, reference the Safety and Occupational Health Manual, Safety Management Systems Chapter.
