Overview

Course Description

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was founded in 1971 to address the rights and responsibilities of employees and employers in the national workplace in a cohesive manner. The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is to send every worker home whole and healthy every day. Since the agency was established in 1971, workplace fatalities have been cut by 62 percent and occupational injury and illness rates have declined 40 percent. This Introductory course covers a bit of the history and functions of OSHA and how it serves to benefit workers in ways that were unprecedented before its existence.

OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job.

Please note: This course is not a part of the OSHA 10 Hour Construction Program.
