General Questions

Which course should I take first?
Students should begin with the OSHA 511 General Industry Standards or the OSHA 510 Construction Industry Standards courses.

How do I register?
Registration can be taken through a variety of means from phone, fax, and mail. Online registration is not available for the OSHA Training Institute Education Center courses. Please see our registration page for more information.

What course meets the prerequisite for the OSHA 500 (or OSHA 501) class?
The prerequisite for the OSHA 500 (OSHA 501) course is the OSHA 510 (OSHA 511) course and 5 years safety experience.  The OSHA 30 no longer meets the prerequisite requirements for these courses.

Will I receive a 30 hour card for completing the OSHA 510 or OSHA 511 class?
No.  The 30 hour courses are different courses that are hazards based.  The OSHA 510 and 511 are the standards based courses and the prerequisites for the OSHA 500 and OSHA 501.

Why have there been changes to the requirements for the OSHA 500/501 and the 30 hour cards on the OSHA 510/511?
OSHA has implemented these changes for all OSHA Training Institute Education Centers as of 2009.

I am an outreach trainer, where can I find more information on the requirements for the 10 and 30 hour classes?
Information on these requirements can be found at the following links
