How to Find Schools for OSHA Training

Keep workers safe on the job with OSHA training.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training is an important way to keep workers' compensation costs to a minimum and keep workers safe on the job. OSHA training complies with standards set forth by the OSHA Act of 1970 to keep employees free of hazards that could cause physical harm or death. Find OSHA Training Institute courses through approved education centers located throughout the country and online at OSHA's website (http://www.osha.gov/dte/edcenters/index.html).

Instructions

1. Click on the training center closest to your location on the OSHA map at http://www.osha.gov/dte/edcenters/index.html or select an online center at http://www.osha.gov/dte/edcenters/online_courses.html.

   OSHA provides a U.S. map of its 10 region education centers. Each location has contact information, including the name of the education facility, URL, address and phone number.

   Online courses are listed alphabetically by education center, followed by actual course listing. Click on either the center or the course for more information about the center and listing.

2. Click on the OSHA education center link. Both online and physical education centers offer websites that describe the center, how to register, tuition and a list of courses. When you click on the link from the OSHA website, you will receive a re-direct page that lets you know that you are leaving the official OSHA website. Proceed to the education center website by clicking on the link provided on the page.

3. Obtain registration and course information at the education center website. Both online and on-site education centers offer a variety of courses on topics such as hazardous materials, machine guarding, ergonomics and electrical standards. Popular courses are "train the trainer" type classes that allow companies to send one representative for training and then return to the organization to train staff.

   The majority of education centers are accredited colleges and universities so courses are not funded or administered directly by OSHA. The education center controls course execution and delivery.
