Using OSHA&amp;nbsp;Construction Standards as a guide, special emphasis is placed on those topics required in the 10- and 30-hour programs as well as those which are most hazardous. Students are briefed on effective instructional approaches and use of visual aids and handouts. This course allows the student to become a trainer in the OSHA Outreach Training Program, to conduct both 10- and 30- hour Construction Outreach classes, and to issue cards to participants after verifying course completion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Helvetica&amp;quot;,sans-serif"&gt;Students who wish to participate as authorized Outreach trainers in the OSHA&amp;nbsp;Outreach Program must prepare a presentation on an assigned OSHA&amp;nbsp;Construction Outreach Training Program topic individually or as part of a group and successfully pass a written exam at the end of the course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Students should obtain guidance on whether they meet this requirement from the OSHA&amp;nbsp;Training Institute Education Center where they intend to receive the training. Authorized OSHA&amp;nbsp;Outreach Training Program trainers are required to attend OSHA&amp;nbsp;#502 Update for Construction Industry Outreach Trainers&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;at least once every four (4) years to maintain their trainer status.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
