GENERAL INDUSTRY
OUTREACH TRAINING PROGRAM


BACKGROUND  

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Outreach Training Program is a voluntary program to train workers in the basics of safety and health hazard recognition and prevention. OSHA authorizes trainers who complete construction and general industry train-the-trainer courses to conduct occupational safety and health classes for workers. OSHA has promoted workplace safety and health by authorizing trainers since 1971. 

The Outreach Training Program has grown rapidly in recent years. From fiscal year (FY) 2004 through FY2008, 2.3 million workers have received outreach training; the number of workers trained more than doubled. In 2008, OSHA distributed nearly 680,000 student cards to trainers who held over 43,000 classes – an average of almost 850 classes per week. The number of students completing 30-hour construction training tripled from 2005 to 2008; however, 10-hour classes still comprise over 80% of the overall program. Construction outreach training comprises 80% of outreach training. On any day, approximately 2,700 workers attend OSHA outreach training.

This growth is as a result of wide industry acceptance. Many employers use the Outreach Training Program to provide training for their employees. Groups who have integrated the program into their overall safety and health training plans include the building trades, general contractors, employer associations, insurance companies, and manufacturing firms. The endorsement of outreach training to serve as a foundation of occupational safety and health training within an organization has often resulted in the requirement of the training as a condition of employment for these workers or members.

Recent State laws enacted in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Missouri and New York require 10-hour construction training for workers on various sized publicly funded construction projects.

THE GENERAL INDUSTRY OUTREACH TRAINING PROGRAM

General industry outreach trainers are authorized to conduct 10- and 30-hour general industry outreach courses and receive OSHA course completion cards to issue to their students. To become an authorized trainer, you must complete Course #501, Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry. You must pass a final test to receive your trainer authorization.

Update Requirement. To stay current on relevant OSHA matters, General Industry outreach trainers are required to attend Course #503, Update for General Industry Outreach Trainers, every four years to remain authorized. The OSHA course #501 may also be used to maintain a trainer’s authorized status. If a trainer's authorization status has expired, the trainer has a three month grace period after their expiration date to take the update course. After the three month grace period, a trainer's authorization status may only reinstate by retaking the OSHA #501 course.

The trainer courses are primarily offered at the OSHA Training Institute Education Centers (OTIECs), see Attachment A. These courses may also be available at the OSHA Training Institute.

OUTREACH TRAINING PROGRAM GUIDELINES

This section contains information on the rules and procedures for conducting an outreach training course. Trainers are responsible for understanding these requirements when planning and conducting their outreach classes.

Training Topics. See the Designated Training Topics sections for what must be cover in a 10- and 30-hour general industry class. The objective of all OSHA Construction Outreach Training Program training is to provide workers with information on recognizing and preventing hazards on a general industry site. If you have a question concerning whether your outreach training meets the needs of specific OSHA standards or requirements, contact your OSHA regional or local office (see Further Assistance). CPR and First Aid can be added to your training, but you can't count this time as part of your 10- or 30-hour class.

Topic Length. OSHA has assigned minimum lengths of one hour to the required course topics; see the Designated Training Topics. One-half hour is the minimum a trainer may spend on any topic. OSHA recommends spending an hour on each elective or optional topic. In In the 10-hour class, a trainer may not cover any topic for more than four hours. In the 30-hour class, a trainer may not spend more than six hours on any topic.

Training Materials. Trainers compile materials for their training from a variety of sources, including products OSHA has available under “Teaching Aids” at the OSHA Outreach Training Program web site. Trainers are provided a CD-ROM in their trainer course. The CD-ROM contains 10-hour PowerPoint presentations and lesson plans that may be used in full or in part in conducting an outreach class. Course materials provided in the train-the-trainer classes are not designed for outreach students. Trainers should provide their students with reference materials, at least a fact sheet, on each topic covered, which highlights the key training points. See Further Assistance for additional information.

Class Time. Breaks and lunch periods are not counted as class time. Instructional times must be at least 10- or 30-hours, as applicable.

Classes Over a Period of Time. Trainers may break classes into segments. Each segment must be at least one hour and the entire course must be completed within six months.

Guest Trainers. Authorized trainers may use others who have topic expertise to help conduct classes. The authorized outreach trainer must design and coordinate the course, teach more contact hours than anyone else, attend all sessions to answer questions, ensure topics are adequately covered, and document students’ attendance.

Records. Trainers must retain outreach class files for five years. The file for each class must include:
  • Student sign-in sheets for each class day
  • Student addresses
  • Copy of the documentation sent in to request cards, including a list of the topics taught and the amount of time spent on each
  • Records which indicate the card number dispensed to each student. One way to accomplish this is to make a copy of all the cards you issue.
OSHA reserves the right to request copies of class records for verification purposes.

Class Size. If a planned training class will exceed 50 students, contact your Outreach Training Program Coordinator (Attachment B) prior to the class to receive permission to hold the class and receive student cards. The coordinator will need to know:
  • How students will be able to ask questions when the class is not in session. Methods include e-mail, answering questions after class, and a Q & A session.
  • What materials, in general, you are providing to the students. At a minimum, trainers must provide students with a fact sheet on each topic covered.
  • That you will take attendance at the beginning and end of each class day. Only those students who are on all attendance sheets may receive cards. Trainers must retain these sign-in sheets in their class files.
OSHA recommends using more than one trainer, holding the 10-hour course over more than one day, and breaking the class into work groups. Small classes encourage student involvement through discussion and group participation and through sharing of knowledge and experiences.

Training Delivery. Outreach training must be done in-person, unless you receive an exemption.

Online Training. OSHA has specific online training guidelines. OSHA has only accepted a few online programs. If you’re considering developing online training, contact the OSHA Outreach Training Program coordinator. The online guidelines include the following:
  • Testing and reporting test scores for each topic and a final test
  • Removal of anyone scoring less than 70% after three tries on any program topic
  • Mandatory page views of each content page
  • Easy trainer availability built into the system
  • Printable online materials for each topic
  • The course must be interactive
  • Tracking students’ time in the course (including a timing-out mechanism)
  • Providing required reports and evaluations
Video Conferencing. If you’re considering using video conferencing, contact your Outreach Training Program Coordinator (see Attachment B) prior to the video conference to receive permission. The guidelines for video conferencing are as follows:
  • The trainer can ensure the full attendance of all students
  • Off-site locations have a training monitor
  • There is a setup to answer students questions quickly and effectively
  • Explain what materials you will provide to the students – at a minimum they must receive a fact sheet on each topic covered
Combining 10-hour Construction and General Industry Classes. Trainers may not combine a 10-hour Construction and a 10-hour General Industry class in less than 20 hours in order to receive both types of student cards.

10 + 20 Hours = 30. If a student you trained in the 10-hour course wants to take the 30-hour course at a later time, you may provide 20 more training hours and receive a 30-hour card for the student. The limitations are as follows:
  • The same trainer must do all the training
  • All the training must be completed, from start to finish, within six months
  • You must return the 10-hour cards to receive the 30-hour cards.
Advertising. When advertising outreach training, trainers must take the proper care to correctly describe their outreach trainer designation and outreach courses. Trainer authorization is limited to conducting the 10- and 30-hour General Industry outreach training courses.

Follow these restrictions when advertising your General Industry Outreach Training Program courses.
 

  • Certified
Neither the trainer, the students, nor the curriculum is certified or approved. The trainer is authorized and the students receive course completion cards.

  • OSHA
“OSHA” may be used in advertising, but not in a manner which would imply that the trainer is an OSHA employee or that the course is being conducted by OSHA.

  • Course #501
Authorized outreach trainers cannot conduct the #501 course. Don’t refer to any outreach course as a #501 course. The #501 course is the trainer course that is conducted by OTI and the OTIECs.

  • Department of Labor Logo
Don’t use the logo that is on the outreach cards or the front cover of this guide.

  • Train-the-Trainer Course
Do not combine the use of “OSHA” and “Train-the-Trainer” in your advertising. Students who complete outreach training are not entitled to receive cards for students they may train.

If OSHA notifies a trainer that their advertising appears false or misleading and it is not promptly corrected, the trainer will be removed from the Outreach Training Program and will no longer be able to receive student completion cards.

Monitoring. OSHA periodically conducts training observations of outreach classes. The purpose is to:
  • Observe training
  • Obtain feedback from the trainer and the students on the training
  • Ensure awareness of the Outreach Training Program guidelines and the materials and assistance that are available to help trainers
Through these visits, OSHA aims to help trainers, improve the Outreach Training Program, and ensure consistent program implementation.

To request a training observation by OSHA, send the following information to the OSHA Outreach Training Program coordinator:
  • Course date
  • Type of class: 10- hour or 30-hour, Construction or General Industry
  • Location
  • Contact information
OUTREACH TRAINING TIPS

This section is intended to provide trainers with suggestions on how to conduct more productive and effective outreach training classes.

Worker Emphasis. Outreach classes are designed to be presented to workers, therefore they must emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention, not OSHA standards. Trainers must tailor their presentations to the needs and understanding of their audience.

Importance of Safety and Health Training. Explain early in the class that this training isn’t a bureaucratic exercise – it may save their life and help them continue to provide for their family.
  • Highlight local stories that students will recognize
  • Discuss personal experiences
  • Provide information on injury and fatality statistics and OSHA Fatal Facts. For more information, see Further Assistance.
  • Explain that safety and health training adds value to the company, the workplace and their life. See OSHA's $afety Pays Program.
Site-Specific Training. The most rewarding classes for students are the ones they can relate to because the trainer uses examples, pictures, and real-life scenarios from their work place, or one similar to it.

Homogenous Class. The ideal class is one where students have similar positions and needs. Hold separate sessions for supervisors, managers, and workers, when possible. Try to train workers from similar groups such as trade groups, office personnel, machine operators, and maintenance staff.

Train Workers in Their Language. Ensure that you know your audience, including whether there are language barriers. To the extent possible, teach non-English speaking workers separately. Use translators, easy to understand photos, videos in their language, and hands-on activities. Also emphasize real-life examples. OSHA and the Outreach Training Program have Spanish-speaking trainers, references, publications, dictionaries and e-tools. See Further Assistance for additional details. Also, see the OSHA Training Standards Policy Statement which reiterates OSHA's policy that employee training be presented in a manner that employees can understand.

Use Objectives. Describe the skills and abilities the students should have or exhibit for each topic. Relate the objectives to the students’ work, if possible.

Presentation Assortment. Students learn in different manners and benefit from multiple training styles. Use different trainers, computer presentations, videos, case studies, exercises and graphics to make the course interesting and enjoyable. By doing so, trainers will be employing the three levels of training techniques - presentation (presenting the material in a variety of ways), discussion (getting the students involved in the learning), and performance (students practice the material they learned).

Testing. OSHA recommends using quizzes and tests to ensure students remain focused and understand key objectives. Trainers may set passing scores. Provide feedback to the students on the exam questions.

Evaluations. OSHA recommends having students complete a class evaluation. Trainers should use this feedback to determine whether the course is accomplishing its goals and how to improve the training.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

This section contains information on outreach cards. The section informs trainers how to receive student completion cards for the training they have conducted.

Obtaining Student Course Completion Cards

After conducting an outreach class, follow the instructions below to document your class to receive OSHA student course completion cards. Your responsible training office may also issue specific instructions.

New trainers, and trainers who have updated their trainer status. To receive student completion cards for training you have conducted, send these items:
  1. OSHA Outreach Training Program Report. Use our format or create your own. This includes trainer and course information. Provide an address that goes directly to you, because we can’t replace card packages that are not received.
  2. A copy of your OSHA General Industry trainer card
  3. A list of the students who completed the training. Use the area on the back to list your students, or send a separate list. The list must be legible. Only send one list, not all of the sign-in sheets.
  4. Topic Outline. List the topics taught and the amount of time spent on each. Complete the topic outline on the bottom of the report (10-hour) or on the back (30-hour) or send a separate outline.
Existing Trainers. If you have previously received student completion cards, you have been issued an ID number. Use this ID to document your training. Send these items:
  1. OSHA Outreach Training Program Report. Use our format or create your own. This includes trainer and course information. Provide an address that goes directly to you, because we can’t replace card packages that are not received
  2. A list of the students who completed the training. Use the area on the back to list your students, or send a separate list. The list must be legible. Only send one list, not all of the sign-in sheets.
  3. Topic Outline. List the topics taught and the amount of time spent on each. Complete the topic outline on the bottom of the report (10-hour) or on the back (30-hour) or send a separate outline.
Other Key Points on Submitting Course Documentation
  • Trainers must sign the statement of certification attesting that they have conducted the training in accordance with the guidelines and have submitted accurate documentation.
  • Trainers must document training within six months of class completion
  • Trainers must report classes separately. Each class should be reported individually and contain each of the items indicated above.
  • Existing trainers with ID numbers may e-mail or fax their course documentation. See Attachment C.
Records Trainers Must Retain for Five Years
  1. Student sign-in sheets for each class day
  2. Student addresses
  3. Copy of the documentation sent in to request cards, including a list of the topics taught and the amount of time spent on each
  4. Records which indicate the card number dispensed to each student. One way to do this is to make a copy of the cards you issue.
Where to Send Documentation

See Attachment B for the training organization responsible for processing your requests for student cards. This is where you will send your course documentation. If you are unsure, the name of your responsible training office is typed in on the front of your trainer card, below OSHA U.S. Department of Labor.

ID Number Information
  • All trainers who have received student cards will get an ID number. Trainers receive an ID number in their card package AFTER submitting their first card request. The trainer ID is provided on the letter or the preprinted Outreach Training Program Report that are returned with your student cards. Some responsible training offices issue an ID upon course registration or completion.
  • A trainer who has received Construction and General Industry training from different organizations will have two ID numbers and will request cards from two different organizations.
  • If you misplaced your ID number, note on the report that you were issued one but misplaced it.
Information on Student Course Completion Cards 
  • For legibility, trainers complete student cards by printing or typing
    1. Student’s name
    2. Course end date
    3. Trainer’s name (the trainer may also sign the card)
  • Trainers may not alter the cards or use white out on the cards. If you misprint or mistype the cards, you may return the cards to your responsible training organization and receive replacements.
  • Student course completion cards don’t expire. However, employers and other organizations may have different requirements than OSHA on this. Some states have enacted laws mandating the training. OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. Participation is voluntary. Workers must receive additional training on specific hazards of their job.
  • Trainers may provide training certificates to students. This often helps them verify that they took the training prior to receiving their card. Advertising restrictions also apply here.
  • Trainers can use the back of the cards for other identification or training information. This may be helpful and appropriate if your outreach class is targeted to a specific industry or audience.
  • The cards may be laminated.
  • Use Avery 5371 label style to print on the cards. Practice by using a copy of the card sheet. Feed one sheet at a time.
  • Processing card requests takes two to four weeks. Please wait this amount of time before inquiring about the status of a request.
Replacing Lost, Damaged, or Misprinted Cards
    Extra Cards. Trainers are sent a few extra cards for each class completed in case of card errors and to allow them to replace lost student cards for students they have trained.  Trainers are not to use these extra cards for any other purpose.
    Trainer Cards: Contact your responsible training organization (Attachment B) where you took your trainer course if you need your trainer card replaced.

    Student Cards:
    • OSHA rarely replace a batch of cards from an entire class.
    • Use the extra cards provided to you for replacements, after you make the proper verification.
    • If you don’t have an extra card, contact your responsible organization (Attachment B) for a replacement. Provide them the student’s name, your name, the training date, and the type of class (10 or 30-hour, construction or general industry).
    • If the training took place more than five years ago, no replacement cards will be issued.
    • Trainers must maintain records which indicated the card number dispensed to each student.

    Misprinted Cards: Return all misprinted cards for replacements. Do not attempt to correct and use misprinted cards.
