STOP AND READ THE FOLLOWING FIRST, BEFORE ENROLLING IN ANY OSHA TRAINER COURSES

Do I need to attend the OSHA 510 over again if I let my authorization for Construction Industry Outreach Training lapse?

Authorized trainers who let their authorization lapse will be ineligible to attend a Trainer Update course and will be required to meet all prerequisite requirements to attend the relevant Trainer course. This includes having successfully completed the applicable OSHA Standards course(s) within seven calendar years of attending the Trainer course. Extensions of trainer authorizations that expire on or after January 1, 2019, will not be granted.

Course Description: This course is designed for individuals interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health Outreach Training Program to their employees and other interested groups. Using OSHA Construction Standards as a guide, special emphasis is placed on those topics required in the 10- and 30-hour programs as well as those which are most hazardous. Students are briefed on effective instructional approaches and use of visual aids and handouts. This course allows the student to become a trainer in the OSHA Outreach Training Program, to conduct both 10- and 30-hour Construction Outreach classes, and to issue cards to participants after verifying course completion. Students who wish to participate as authorized Outreach trainers in the OSHA Outreach Training Program must prepare a presentation on an assigned OSHA Construction Outreach Training Program topic individually or as part of a group and successfully pass a written exam at the end of the course. Minimum student contact hours: 26

Prerequisites: Students must successfully complete the OSHA #510 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Construction and have five (5) years of safety and health work experience in the construction industry. A degree in occupational safety and health, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation may be substituted for two (2) years of work-related experience. Students should obtain guidance on whether they meet this requirement from the OSHA Training Institute Education Center where they intend to receive the training. Authorized OSHA Outreach Training Program trainers are required to attend OSHA #502 Update for Construction Industry Outreach Trainers at least once every four (4) years to maintain their trainer status.
