About This Event:

This course is designed for personnel in the private sector interested in teaching the 10 and 30-hour general industry safety and health outreach program to their employees and other interested groups. Special emphasis is placed on the topics required in the 10 and 30-hour programs, as well as on those that are the most hazardous, using OSHA standards as a guide. Course participants are briefed on effective instructional approaches and the effective use of visual aids and handouts. This course allows the student to become a trainer in the Outreach Program, to conduct both a 10 and 30-hour general industry safety and health course and to issue cards to participants verifying course completion.

Authorized OSHA Outreach trainers are required to attend OTI 503 at least once every four (4) years to maintain their trainer status.
