OSHA Resources for Locals

How to Organize an OSHA Class

  • The entertainment industry follows both the General Industry and Construction rules and regulations. Which industry courses your local offers could be determined or required by employers, state, city, or municipality. If none of those entities requires a specific industry course, offer the one that pertains the most to your local’s craft.

    • OSHA 10 provides basic occupational safety and health information for workers. If a worker’s job requires OSHA Outreach Training and they don’t have supervisory responsibilities, they should take an OSHA 10-hour class.

    • OSHA 30 is appropriate for supervisors, department heads, keys, leads, and forepersons. If a worker’s job requires OSHA Outreach Training and they have supervisory responsibility for worker safety, they should take an OSHA 30-hour class.

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.
