New OSHA Outreach Training 7-1/2 hours per day limit
Attached is a new policy which affects the OSHA Outreach Training Program. This policy emanated from a Decision Memo signed by the Assistant Secretary on March 17, 2010. The policy requires authorized OSHA Outreach Trainers to limit their training to a maximum of 7½ hours per day. Therefore, all 10-hour courses must be conducted over a minimum of two days and 30-hour courses over a minimum of four days. An exception process is provided for extenuating circumstances.
