OSHA #500 Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for Construction

Class description

This course is designed for individuals interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health Outreach Training Program to their employees and other interested groups. Using OSHA Construction Standards as a guide, special emphasis is placed on those topics required in the 10- and 30-hour programs as well as those which are most hazardous. Students are briefed on effective instructional approaches and use of visual aids and handouts. This course allows the student to become a trainer in the OSHA Outreach Training Program, to conduct both 10- and 30-hour Construction Outreach classes, and to issue cards to participants after verifying course completion. Students who wish to participate as authorized Outreach trainers in the OSHA Outreach Training Program must prepare a presentation on an assigned OSHA Construction Outreach Training Program topic individually or as part of a group and successfully pass a written exam at the end of the course.  

Prerequisites:

• Students must successfully complete the OSHA #510 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry course no longer than seven (7) years prior to registering for the trainer course.
• Have five (5) years of construction industry safety experience. Please note that “working safely” in the industry does not meet the safety experience requirement.

A bachelor’s degree (or higher) in occupational safety and health, a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation may be substituted for two (2) years of work related experience.

Authorized OSHA Outreach Training Program trainers are required to attend an OSHA #502 Update for Construction Industry Outreach Trainers course at least once every four (4) years to maintain their trainer status. The OSHA #500 Trainer Course in Occupation Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry may also be used to maintain a trainer’s authorized status.
