Can new workers operate a gauge for 90 days while awaiting a training class?

New workers are required to complete their training before operating a gauge to ensure they have the necessary knowledge and skills to handle it safely. This training is crucial to understanding the risks involved with using nuclear gauges and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Proper training helps minimize potential accidents and ensures the worker knows how to respond in case of emergencies. Allowing untrained individuals to operate equipment poses serious safety risks, not only to themselves but also to their colleagues and the environment. Therefore, completing the required training is a mandatory step before any operational tasks can be performed by new workers.
