Who must formally approve a Training Order before it is issued for Week 1?

• A. The designated Authority or Approver as defined in the MSR Training Order Policy.
• B. The training participants themselves.
• C. The finance department.
• D. The safety officer alone.

Answer: (B)

Week 1 is designed to ensure the people who will participate are actively confirming their involvement before anything is issued. When participants formally approve the Training Order, they’re acknowledging they’ve reviewed the plan, understand any prerequisites, and agree to attend and comply with expectations. This sign-off creates accountability and helps the organization lock in scheduling, resources, and logistics, knowing the actual attendees are on board. The designated Authority or Approver typically oversees overall readiness, but in this first step the participants’ approval is the trigger that moves the process forward. The finance department handles budgeting and funding, not the approval of attendance, and a safety officer alone doesn’t establish the full authorization required to issue the order.
