Yes, you do, even if OSHA doesn't require it. More than 100 separate OSHA rules feature training requirements. Some of those standards also require you to certify that training has been successfully completed and that employees have learned the skills and information they need to work safely.

For example, OSHA's process safety management standard (29 CFR 1910.119) requires documentation of training, as does the powered industrial truck standard (29 CFR 1910.178). And DOT's hazardous materials transportation regulations (49 CRF Parts 171-180) require you to keep records of training conducted in the preceding 3 years. But even when documentation isn't expressly required in the regulations, as a practical matter, you should keep records of all safety training. As OSHA points out, documentation that proves training has been conducted and that employees have successfully completed the training provides evidence of your good-faith compliance with OSHA standards generally.
