The primary references for the CSTRA Tank Entry Supervisor Certification examination are ANSI/API Standard 2015, which defines requirements, and its companion ANSI/API RP 2016, which provides guidance for developing and safely implementing plans in accordance with requirements of API 2015. These standards provide substantial experience-based practical information; they also incorporate by reference additional background material from API and other sources, including cited U.S. Federal (but not state) regulations. We will cover Cal/OSHA in the class in California, as a review, but will not be on the TES final exam. However to be a qualified and efficient TES working in California, the understanding and review is required of Cal/OSHA Title 8 Section 5156, 5157, 5158
