Borrow Our OSHA Trainer

 

If your local needs assistance meeting a specific OSHA 10-hour training need for a group of workers, we can provide our OSHA Outreach Trainer to teach an OSHA 10-Hour General Industry with Focus on the Entertainment Industry class or an OSHA 10-Hour Construction with Focus on the Entertainment Industry class for your local.

How Does It Work?

Through the Borrow Our OSHA Trainer program, we offer in-person OSHA classes to locals based on a specified, demonstrated need for a group of workers. The TTF will determine which course options are available for your local when a request is made. Classes must meet a minimum requirement of 20 students.

We expect the local to be actively involved in the course implementation and enrollment process. The local is responsible for course outreach to all potential student TTF Beneficiaries (active IATSE members and those working under IATSE agreements), and the distribution and processing of course applications. The local is also responsible for all course logistics including securing a training space and equipment and training venue set-up.

Classes span two days, with each day scheduled for eight hours, including instruction time, breaks, and a one-hour lunch break. Depending on the pace of the day, classes may conclude earlier than scheduled. Participants must attend both days to receive an OSHA completion card. In-person classes are limited to 40 students per OSHA regulations.

We’ll provide an OSHA Outreach Trainer to facilitate course instruction at no cost to the local union. We’ll also cover the cost of the trainer’s travel, lodging, and meals. OSHA cards will be mailed directly to participants about a month after the class at no cost to the local. All other costs incurred during the implementation of this course are the responsibility of the local.

WHAT TOPICS ARE COVERED IN THE TRAINING?

The purpose of the OSHA Outreach Training Program is to teach workers about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint as well as how to recognize, abate, and prevent job-related hazards. OSHA Outreach Training Program training does not meet the training requirements contained in any OSHA standard. Some states and local jurisdictions have enacted legislation mandating OSHA Outreach Training Program training, and some employers and unions require workers to have this training to work on job sites or to fulfill their own safety training goals.

How Do We Apply?

A local officer should fill out the inquiry form below to request a Borrow Our OSHA Trainer class. We will contact you to discuss your specific needs. If we determine that a Borrow Our OSHA Trainer class is best suited to meet your local’s specified needs, we will provide the application. The application will still need to be reviewed and approved in advance of the class.

The fillable PDF form must be filled out and submitted by the local union president, secretary treasurer, BA, or training coordinator at least 60 days before the proposed class dates.

You are not obligated to accept IATSE workers from outside your local, but it can be an effective way to meet the 20-student course minimum.
