Outreach Trainers Need Approval to Offer Online Classes
Outreach Trainers who are planning to teach OSHA 10- or 30-hour classes remotely (via Zoom, etc.) are required to get an exception approved, according to Outreach Training Program Requirements. Please don’t assume you can teach a class online WITHOUT permission.

We are helping many Outreach Trainers with the approval process, and we are happy to provide guidance and answer any questions. Contact Addie Hosier at ahosier@clpccd.org .

Outreach Trainers Granted 3 Month Extension to Renew Authorization Due to Unavailability of In-person Classes
If your Outreach Trainer authorization is set to expire during this current shutdown period when in-person renewal classes are unavailable, you have been granted an extension of 3 months from the time in-person classes are rescheduled to renew your authorization. 

Example: your Outreach Trainer authorization expires in May, but no in-person renewal classes are scheduled until June. In this case, you have until 3 months after the first in-person renewal class is scheduled in June to renew your trainer authorization.

If you have any questions, contact Addie Hosier at ahosier@clpccd.org .

OSHA Outreach Training Program

The OSHA Outreach Training Program was established to train workers in the basics of safety and health hazard recognition and prevention. OSHA authorizes trainers who complete the 4-day construction or general industry train-the-trainer courses to conduct 10-hour and 30-hour construction or general industry safety and health hazard recognition and prevention courses.


Outreach Trainer Portal

Outreach Training Card requests are now processed through an online database system. Outreach Training Cards have better fraud protection and include a QR code to allow employers and workers to verify the authenticity of the card. All trainers must register in the Outreach Trainer Portal in order to submit OSHA Outreach Training Reports.


The  OSHA Training Institute Education Center at Chabot-Las Positas Community College District  offers high quality OSHA standards-based training for construction, maritime and general industries at our San Francisco Bay Area location as well as other locations in Northern, Central and Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii.
