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.  OSHA student completion cards are awarded to participants upon successful completion of the training.  Instructional time must be a minimum of 30 hours.

Voluntary Program.  This training program is voluntary.  It does not meet training requirements in any OSHA standard.  Even though some jurisdictions, employers, and unions require Construction Industry outreach training to work on job sites and to fulfill their safety training goals, OSHA still considers the program voluntary.  Workers must receive additional training on hazards specific to their job.
