OSHA
Outreach Training Program
Construction Industry Safety and Health
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Outreach Training Program is a voluntary training program through which OSHA authorizes trainers to teach construction industry occupational safety, health standards and policy to promoted workplace safety and health. This program has promoted workplace safety and health by authorizing trainers since 1971.
Construction industry outreach trainers like
"i-work-safe.com, Inc." are authorized to conduct 10 and 30-hour construction industry outreach courses and receive OSHA course completion cards to issue to the students. Staff from the OSHA Office of Training and Education periodically attend outreach training classes to observe training, obtain feedback from the trainer and the students on the training, and ensure awareness of the outreach guidelines and the materials and assistance that are available.
There are two different construction industry outreach classes. One is designed for construction workers and therefore emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention, not OSHA standards. The other is for foreman and supervisors who have a responsibility for the on site health and safety of their workers. Both presentations are tailored to the needs and understanding of the audience. This training is not a bureaucratic exercise – it may save a life and allow you to continue to provide for your family.
Quizzes and tests are used to ensure that all student understands key objectives.
