Program Purpose
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Outreach Training Program for the Construction Industry teaches construction workers about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job related hazards.
The OSHA 30 Hour Safety Training will be held on 10 Thursday Evenings from 6pm to 9pm starting January 24, 2013 and ending April 4, 2013 (class does NOT meet during Spring Break).
The 30-hour Construction Outreach Training Program is intended to provide a variety of training to workers with some safety responsibility. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention, not OSHA standards. The topic requirements are as follows:
