90-Day Grace Period for Outreach Trainer Update Removed
As part of its continuing effort to improve the Outreach Training Program, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has eliminated the authorized trainer “90-day grace period.”
As of January 1, 2019, Authorized Outreach Trainers who fail to update their status via the proper OSHA Trainer Update Course, is no longer a trainer and is required to begin the process again by sending in a Prerequisite Verification Form that documents 5 years of safety experience, to qualify to take the appropriate trainer course. If the prerequisite standards course was taken more than seven years previous, it will also have to be retaken. (Construction 510, General Industry 511, Maritime 5410).
Please plan on updating your Outreach Trainer status PRIOR to the expiration date on your Outreach Trainer card.
For those who successfully become Outreach Trainers, an update course is required every four years (Construction OSHA #502, General Industry OSHA #503, Maritime OSHA #5402).
How to register for an update course.
Please include:
- Prerequisite Verification Form. Complete pages 1 and 5.
- A front/back copy of your current trainer card.
- Registration form properly filled out for the course section you would like to take.
A trainer who does not successfully complete an update course prior to the expiration date on his/her DOL Outreach Trainer card relinquishes authorization as an OSHA Outreach Trainer.
