Question: Now that Maritime Outreach course completion cards do not expire, do I need to get a new card or is my expired card still valid?

Answer:

As of April 1, 2019, Maritime student course completion cards do not expire. Training completed before this date remains valid. Cardholders are not required to obtain a replacement. If a replacement card is desired, the Maritime class must have been completed within the past five years. To request a replacement card, please contact the original training provider.

The Outreach Training Program is voluntary and OSHA does not require Outreach training. Some states, municipalities, employers, unions, and other organizations have enacted requirements mandating training. Any determination on what will be accepted in order to meet mandatory training requirements must be made by the organization mandating the training. Anyone in possession of a Maritime Outreach course completion card with an expiration date who is eligible to request a replacement card, may request a replacement card with a course end date through the OSHA-authorized Outreach trainer who provided their training.
