To become an Outreach Training Program trainer, an individual must meet the prerequisites and complete the applicable industry trainer course through an Authorizing Training Organization. See the specific industry program procedures for detailed information. Trainer course prerequisites include components for both industry-specific safety and health experience and training in OSHA standards for that industry. These are separate components. Industry experience cannot be used to fulfill or replace the training prerequisite component. OSHA does not waive the training prerequisite component.
