I want to attend a 10- or 30-hour
outreach class. How do I find out about taking these classes?
OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers distribute lists of active
trainers (two or more classes conducted within a year) by State. Persons looking
for training can use these lists to contact trainers for information on
training.
Contact the appropriate OSHA Training Institute Education Center as listed in
Attachment B of the program guidelines - they have the timeliest data on
trainers.
Provide them the following information:
- State(s) you are looking for
- That you want information on Maritime training
- Your e-mail address, fax number or mailing address
I lost my 10- (or 30) hour
student completion card. How do I get a replacement?
Contact your trainer. OSHA provides them with extra cards for each class they
teach in order to issue replacements. If your trainer does not have an extra
card, have your trainer contact their OSHA training office for the replacement.
The trainer must provide the following information: student name, trainer name,
training date, and type of class (10 or 30-hour, construction or general
industry). Records are kept for five years plus the present year. If the
training took place prior to this, no replacement may be issued.
I lost my trainer card. How do I
get a replacement?
Contact the organization you took the course from. Inform them what course you
took and when you took it. After they validate that you took the class, and
passed the test, they will issue you a replacement card.
For a list of contacts, see
Attachment B of the program guidelines.
How can I check on the status of a
request for student course completion cards?
It takes approximately two to four weeks to process a request for student course
completion cards. If you have not received your cards after five weeks, contact
the appropriate person noted in
Attachment B of the program guidelines.
What is my trainer ID number?
ID numbers are only given to trainers who have conducted an outreach training
class and received student course completion cards. If you are completing an
OSHA Outreach Training Program Report for the first time, you must list the
trainer course you took, the date that your trainer status expires (as noted on
your trainer card), and submit a copy of your trainer card.
When does my trainer status expire?
You are authorized as an outreach trainer for four years from the date that you
completed the trainer course (courses 5400 or 5402).
To maintain your authorization status, you must take a 5402 update course every
four years. This is true whether you have trained students or not. You may also
retake the 5400 trainer course. We encourage persons who are active
in occupational safety and health to take the update course, which provides more
trainer assistance and recent information.
Where can I get information about trainer or update
course schedules?
The Trainer Course in OSHA Standards for the Maritime Industry (#5400) and the
5402 update course are taught at the OSHA Training Institute Education Centers.
For a schedule of courses, please refer to the
Maritime Trainer Courses.
I misprinted my student cards - how do I
get more cards?
Return the misprinted cards to the OSHA Education Center that issued the cards
for replacements.
Do the student course completion
cards expire?
Yes. The student course completion cards expire five years after the training.
To retain a valid 10- or 30-hour Maritime Industry card, students are required
to take an update course within the five year period. The Outreach Training
Program is intended as an orientation to Occupational Safety and Health. Workers
must receive additional training on specific hazards of their job.
