STOP AND READ THE FOLLOWING FIRST, BEFORE ENROLLING IN ANY OSHA TRAINER COURSES

Do I need to attend the OSHA 511 or the OSHA 510 over again if, I let my authorization for General Industry or Construction Outreach Training lapse?

Authorized trainers that let their authorization lapse will be ineligible to attend a Trainer Update course, and will be required to meet all prerequisite requirements to attend the relevant Trainer course, to include having successfully completed the applicable OSHA Standards course(s) within seven calendar years of attendance at the Trainer course. Extensions of trainer authorizations that expire on or after January 1, 2019, will not be granted.

Please, contact one of the following to get the required prerequisite forms, from either: Crystal Beall - 801-585-0808 crystal.beall@hsc.utah.edu or Shalese Ramirez - 801-581-4055 shalese.ramirez@hsc.utah.edu. Your prerequisite forms will need to be reviewed and approved first before you are allowed to attend any of the Trainer course's.

Please provide the following, ASAP:
1. Copy of Standards Course (OSHA 510 or OSHA 511) Certificate
2. Pre-Requisite Form

Trainer Reauthorization Change
As part of its continuing effort to improve the Outreach Training Program, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will be eliminating the authorized trainer "90-day grace period" described in Sections III.B.1.,2, and 4 of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements. This change will be included in the next published revisions of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements and applicable sections of each Industry Procedures document, and will become effective January 1, 2019. However, Section III.C. of the OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements (Trainer Update Exemption for Overseas Military Service) remains in effect while the Agency evaluates the impact of this change.

Elimination of the grace period is intended to reduce confusion regarding trainer authorization status, and to encourage trainers to maintain their trainer authorization(s). OSHA urges authorized trainers to schedule registration, attendance, and completion of the relevant Trainer Update course well in advance of their trainer authorization expiration date.

Please, contact one of the following to get the required verification form, from either: Crystal Beall - 801-585-0808 crystal.beall@hsc.utah.edu or Shalese Ramirez - 801-581-4055 shalese.ramirez@hsc.utah.edu. You will also need to provide them the following to attach to include with your registration:

Please provide the following, ASAP:
1. Copy of your last Trainer Card and/or a Copy of the Course Certificate (OSHA 500; OSHA 501; OSHA 502 or OSHA 503)
2. Prerequisite Verificaiton Form
