Overview
Prerequisite: OSHA requires each course participant have completed a weeklong training in OSHA Construction (OSHA 510) and 5 years experience in construction safety prior to this course.
This course is designed for personnel in the private sector interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health outreach program to their employees and other interested groups. Special emphasis is placed on those topics that are required in the 10- and 30-hour programs as well as on those that are the most hazardous, using OSHA standards as a guide.
Course participants are briefed on effective instructional approaches and the effective use of visual aids and handouts. This course allows the student to become a trainer in the Outreach Program and to conduct both a 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health course and to issue cards to participants verifying course completion. NOTE: Students in Course 500 who wish to participate as authorized trainers in the Outreach Program must successfully pass a written exam at the end of the course. Outreach trainers are required to attend Course 502 at least once every four years to maintain their trainer status.
When you complete this course you will be able to:
• Find correct OSHA standards in 29 CFR 1926.
• Identify the common causes of accidents and fatalities in hazardous areas of construction.
• Understand basic instructional approaches and the use of visual aids and handouts.
• Identify abatement techniques for hazards found in construction.
