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

Trainer Reauthorization Change:

As part of its continuing effort to improve the Outreach Training Program, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will be eliminating the authorized trainer "90-day grace period" described in Sections III.B.1.,2, and 4 of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements. This change will be included in the next published revisions of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements and applicable sections of each Industry Procedures document and will become effective January 1, 2019. However, Section III.C. of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements (Trainer Update Exemption for Overseas Military Service) remains in effect while the Agency evaluates the impact of this change.

Elimination of the grace period is intended to reduce confusion regarding trainer authorization status, and to encourage trainers to maintain their trainer authorization(s). OSHA urges authorized trainers to schedule registration, attendance, and completion of the relevant Trainer Update course well in advance of their trainer authorization expiration date.

To request the required Trainer Update form, please contact: Shalese Ramirez - 801-581-7182 shaleseramirez@weber.edu . NOTE: Be sure to submit all required documentation at least two weeks prior to the Trainer course you wish to attend to allow for adequate review time.

Please provide the following, ASAP:
1. Copy of your last Trainer Card
2. Copy of your Driver's License
3. Trainer Update Form
