What types of courses are offered by OTI Education Centers?
OTI courses currently available through the Education Centers include the most popular ones such as
the #500 Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Construction Industry
and #501 Trainer Course in Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry. These
"train the trainer" courses support the OSHA Outreach Training Program, which is the agency's
primary way to train workers in the basics of occupational safety and health. Also available through
the Education Centers are Trainer update courses (#502, #503), Course #510 Occupational Safety and
Health Standards for the Construction Industry, and the newly developed Course #511 Occupational
Safety and Health Standards for General Industry.
Other OTI Education Center course offerings address such topics as Hazardous Materials, Machine
Guarding, Ergonomics, Confined Space, Excavation, Electrical Standards, and Fall Arrest Systems.
There are currently a number of one-day seminars in development in subject areas such as nursing
home guidelines, homeland security, and machine guarding. These are being added to meet the needs of
students who are unable to attend the full-week courses, but would like to benefit from the OSHA
training curriculum.
