This course is designed for personnel interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour general industry safety and health Outreach Training Program to their employees and other interested groups. Special emphasis is placed on those topics that are 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 and to conduct both a 10- and 30-hour general industry safety and health course and to issue cards to participants verifying course completion.
Prerequisites:
- Students must successfully complete the OSHA 511 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the General Industry
- Have five (5) years of general industry safety and health work experience. Please note "working safely" in the industry does not meet the safety experience requirement.
A degree is not required, however, if you have a degree in occupational safety and health, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation, in the applicable training area, may be substituted for two (2) years of work-related experience.
