Reminders for OSHA Outreach Trainers
- Beginning October 1, 2023, the OSHA card processing fee is increasing to $10 per student. This is the first increase of card processing fees since 2016 and reflects increases in costs incurred by the program. The Outreach card replacement processing fee remains $25.
- It is important that you remind your students that you (the Authorized Outreach Trainer) are their primary source for follow-up information, like replacing lost Outreach cards. As you know, students can receive replacement cards for up to five years from the date they completed their training. Please make sure that you provide them with a way to contact you during that time period, if they need their card replaced.
- There is no grace period for expiring OSHA Outreach Trainer authorizations. If your credentials lapse, you will need to take the standards course along with the initial trainer course again. Please be mindful of your trainer expiration date.
- OSHA indefinitely extended the virtual instructor-led Outreach training exemption. If you plan to present a virtual (Teams, WebEx, Zoom, etc.) training, you must notify Rutgers at outreach@sph.rutgers.edu a minimum of two weeks prior to the course start date to give us sufficient time to review your request.
