Record of Changes
The following summary lists the substantive changes made to this document. Additional minor
content, grammatical, or typographical corrections are included in this document. All OSHA
authorized Outreach trainers, Authorizing Training Organizations and other stakeholders must
carefully review and adhere to OSHA Outreach Training Program requirements, procedures and
related guidance.
ii
I. Trainer Requirements
Requirements for Construction trainers authorized through the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) Outreach Training Program (“Program”) are contained in
the following documents:
The OSHA Outreach Training Program is voluntary. Outreach training does not meet the
training requirements contained in any OSHA standard. Some states and local
jurisdictions have enacted legislation mandating OSHA Outreach Program Training to
work on job sites and to fulfill their own safety training goals. However, the federal
government does not mandate OSHA Outreach Training Program participation. For
additional information on OSHA’s training-related requirements, see OSHA Publication
#2254, Training Requirements in OSHA Standards, available on OSHA’s website.
(www.osha.gov)

1. Experience. To become an authorized Outreach trainer for the construction
industry, an individual must have at least five years of construction safety
experience. A bachelor’s degree (or higher) in occupational safety and health
or industrial hygiene from an accredited college or university, a Certified
Safety Professional (CSP), or Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) designation
may be substituted for a total of two years of experience. Please note that
‘working safely’ in the industry does not meet the industry safety experience
requirement.
2. Course Requirements.

2. Extensions to the trainer’s expiration date will not be granted, and they will be
unable to conduct Outreach classes and receive student course completion
cards, except as described in Section III.C.

OTI Education Centers. A searchable course schedule and list of current OTI
Education Centers can be found on OSHA’s website.

Illnesses form. (OSHA Form 300)
2) Electrocution

n. Tools – Hand and Power
o. Welding and Cutting
1. Required – 14 hours.
Most construction fatalities are caused by fall hazards, therefore falls must be
covered for a minimum of 1 hour and 30 minutes. The remaining three Focus
Four Hazard topics must be covered for a minimum of 30 minutes each.
Training requirements for the Focus Four Hazards are attached in Appendix
C.

2) Electrocution
1. Topics must be occupational safety and health topics dealing with hazard
recognition or prevention.

3. Training conducted to comply with OSHA standards cannot be counted
toward OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements.
D. Reporting Training Classes. After completing a class, the Outreach trainer must
submit the OSHA Outreach Training Report (OTPR) – Construction to their ATO
within 30 days. Instructions for completing the OTPR are included on the form
attached in Appendix A.
NOTE: When planning and reporting a class, ensure coverage of the required topics. Specifically,
ensure proper coverage on each Focus Four area. If more time is spent in this area than required,
the additional time may be reported in the specific Focus Four area or under such elective topics as
scaffolds, cranes, and excavations, as applicable.
F. Records Retention. Outreach trainers must retain Program class records for five
years from the class end date. This requirement is the sole responsibility of the
Outreach trainer regardless of what records may be maintained by an employer.
OSHA reserves the right to request copies of class records for verification purposes at
any time. For specific information on how to maintain Outreach class records. (See
OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements, Section V.P.)
