Description of the training process:
At least one certified Responsible Person must be physically present on the work site at all times.
For larger projects involving multiple subcontractors or a sustained crew working within a defined area, Facilities Compliance recognizes that requiring every individual on site to hold a certification may not be practical. In these situations, a Responsible Person model applies: each subcontractor on the project may designate one or more certified individuals who serve as the responsible person for their trade, or the general contractor may designate a small number of certified individuals to serve as responsible persons for the entire site.
Regardless of how coverage is structured, at least one certified Responsible Person must be physically present on the work site at all times when above-ceiling work is actively occurring. The Responsible Person is accountable for ensuring that all work performed under their oversight complies with the requirements of this program — including barrier protection, firestopping, and permit conditions — and that no uncertified worker accesses above-ceiling spaces unsupervised.
The name and contact information for the on-site Responsible Person must be identified in the permit application and that individual must be reachable at all times during the permitted work period. If the designated Responsible Person leaves the site, a qualified replacement must be in place before above-ceiling work resumes.
