Construction Outreach Training Program

10- or 30-hour Outreach Classes                                       

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Outreach Training Program is a voluntary program to train workers in the basics of safety and health hazard recognition and prevention. OSHA authorizes trainers to conduct occupational safety and health classes for workers. OSHA has promoted workplace safety and health by authorizing trainers since 1971.

PRESTIGE DEVELOPERS AND CONTRACTORS INC. has trainers authorized by OSHA to teach 10-hour or 30-hour courses in Construction in English and Spanish.

The 10-hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Program is intended to provide an entry level construction workers general awareness on recognizing and preventing hazards on a construction site. The training covers a variety of construction safety and health hazards which a worker may encounter at a construction site. OSHA recommends this training as an orientation to occupational safety and health. Workers must receive additional training on hazards specific to their job. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance, control and prevention, not OSHA standards. Learning objectives on many of these topics are on the 10-hour CD-ROM which is distributed in the train-the-trainer class, and also available for download at the Outreach Training Program website. Instructional time must be a minimum of 10 hours.

Break down of the topics as follows:

Mandatory - 4 hours (left column): Four topics to be taught, ranging from one-half to two hours each

Elective - 2 hours (right column top): Choose at least two of these topics to teach, for a minimum of one-half hour each. Must cover at least two hours.

Optional - 4 hours (right column bottom): Teach any other construction industry hazards or policies and/or expand on the mandatory or elective topics, minimum of one-half hour each.

The 30-hour Construction Outreach Training Program is intended to provide a variety of training to workers with some safety responsibility.

How to Sign a Contract with a Contractor

Getting a Written Contract

Always carefully plan your home improvement projects. Consider your budget. Save pictures of styles and projects you like and make a note of the brand names and models. Review them with  your contractor. A high quality faucet means something different to you and to your contractor. Walk with your contractor through one of his completed projects and tell him what you like and don't like. Get accurate plans or blueprints. Study them carefully and make certain they show your project accurately. Approve the completed plans before starting work.

If you decide to wear the hat of a general contractor, you, not the people you hire, are responsible for the over all job. If your subcontractors do not take out the permits, it is your problem. If they do not have worker's compensation insurance you must.  Unless you have experience, time and skills to do it right, it may be not be wise to be your own general contractor.
