How many times a year should we train on oxygen transportation?

Q: We just had a CMS validation survey and received a finding under K-tag K-926 for not having good enough documentation of training on oxygen transportation. How many times a year do we have to give training on this? Is annual plus new-hire training enough?

A: K-tag 926 references NFPA 99-2012, 11.5.2.1, which only says “periodic” training must be provided. The Annex section is quiet on how frequent “periodic” is, and the NFPA Handbook on NFPA 99-2012 does not address it either.
