This course (OSHA 500) is designed for personnel in the private sector interested in teaching the 10- and 30-hour construction safety and health outreach program to their employees and other interested groups. Special emphasis is placed on those topics that are required in the 10- and 30-hour programs as well as on those 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 construction safety and health course and to issue cards to participants verifying course completion.

  • OSHA Inspection Procedures

PARTICIPANT ATTENDANCE POLICY

TEEX-PRT and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) have an attendance policy that requires all students to fully attend enrolled classes. In order for you to receive a certificate of completion, you must attend the entire class. We realize that extenuating circumstances may arise that would take you out of class and have implemented the following policy to handle those situations.

Below are the responsibilities and expectations of you as a participant in a TEEX-PRT course:

  1. You are expected to attend 100% of the course in which you are enrolled.
  2. If an extenuating circumstance arises that requires you to attend less than 100% of class, you must complete the Student Absentee Request form (found in the student manual) prior to leaving the classroom and submit it to the instructor for approval. If the extenuating circumstance arises during non-class hours, you must complete the Student Absentee Request form immediately.
