OSHA Authorized 10 & 30 Hour Outreach Training
Contrary to popular belief, OSHA does not certify anyone or anything for any reason. They do, however, authorize certain individuals with the required experience and training to conduct OSHA 10 and 30 hour Outreach training. These are your Authorized Outreach Instructors, and they are the only ones authorized to issue the 10 and 30 hour cards.
AGI Resource Group has authorized instructors for Aviation, General Industry, and Construction. And we have one of the few, if not the only, Authorized Outreach Instructor with an extensive background in aviation. This allows us to tailor the 10 and 30 hour courses for the aviation industry. Also, the OSHA courses and Human Factors are a great combination because they complement each other on many levels.
The 10-hour course is intended for individuals requiring a general knowledge of OSHA standards and is focused on raising safety awareness. For the best return on investment, all employees should have this training. Through the knowledge gained in the OSHA 10 course, the individual will be better prepared to remain safe, reduce the possibility of being injured, and be more efficient.
The 30-hour course is intended for those individuals with some level of supervisory and or safety responsibilities at work. The OSHA 30 delves deeper into the standards and, like the 10-hour, raises safety awareness but also prepares the participant to implement and manage OSHA compliance and programs.
Having all or a portion of the workforce trained at either level may help organizations achieve an ISO 45001 Occupational Safety and Health certification, and depending on the carrier, may also result in lower insurance premiums, especially workers comp. For community public safety organizations, this training may lead to an improved ISO rating for the community which could result in lower business and homeowners insurance costs.
Another benefit of authorized OSHA training is that most state and federal contracts require that a contractor's employees have their OSHA 10 cards before they can bid on a contract. Back:
