Trainer Course in Occupational Safety &
Health Standards for General Industry
This course is designed for personnel in the private
sector interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour
general industry safety and health outreach program
to their employees and other interested groups. Special
emphasis is placed on those topics that are required

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 covers the skills
needed to plan and deliver effective presentations.
Participants will learn practical and innovative techniques
to deliver interactive regulatory training sessions.
Throughout the course, participants work in small
groups to apply the techniques learned through mini
presentations, while receiving structured feedback
from peers and their instructor. This course allows
the student to become a trainer in the Outreach Program
and to conduct both a 10- and 30-hour general industry
safety and health course and to issue cards to participants
verifying course completion. NOTE: Students in Course
#501 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 #503 at least once every
