Question: Does this chart mean that an employer who requires a 10- or 30-hour card should take a trainer card as a substitute?

Answer:

Becoming an authorized Outreach trainer is the highest achievement in the Outreach Training Program. Trainers are authorized to teach courses for 10- and 30-hour students. OSHA does not consider any courses as equivalent to those conducted at the OTI Education Centers. Because the Outreach Training Program is voluntary for OSHA, acceptance of a trainer card as a substitute is at the discretion of the employer.
