1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Official OSHA Outreach Training Program courses shall be conducted in accordance with applicable OSHA Outreach Training Program Requirements, industry-specific procedures and relevant Authorizing Training Organization (ATO) instructions.

All official courses must be delivered by trainers holding current authorization for the applicable industry.

ARG will not represent private institutional training as official OSHA Outreach training or imply OSHA endorsement, accreditation or company-wide certification.

2. OFFICIAL OSHA 10-HOUR & 30-HOUR OUTREACH TRAINING

Official Outreach classes in Construction, General Industry and Maritime must satisfy the applicable program requirements, including:

• Instruction by an appropriately authorized OSHA Outreach trainer.
• A minimum of three (3) students per class, unless an exception is authorized in writing by the appropriate ATO.
• Completion of all required instructional hours and mandatory topics.
• Accurate student identification and documented attendance.
• Compliance with applicable instructional schedules, participation requirements and training procedures.
• Submission of official OSHA/DOL Outreach card requests through authorized channels.

3. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FRAUDULENT TRAINING PRACTICES

ARG expressly prohibits the following conduct:

• Selling or promising official OSHA/DOL Outreach cards without qualifying training.

• Issuing misleading documents intended to imitate official OSHA/DOL cards.
• Using trainers without the required current authorization.

Suspected violations may result in suspension of enrollment, documented administrative review, corrective action and notification to the appropriate ATO or competent authority when warranted.

4. ARG PRIVATE INSTITUTIONAL SAFETY TRAINING

ARG may offer private institutional safety training to individuals or groups without a minimum enrollment requirement.

Private programs have their own learning objectives, course materials, attendance records and institutional certificates of completion.

5. PARTICIPANT & CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Before enrollment, each participant or client is responsible for identifying the specific training or credential required by their employer, contractor, project or applicable authority.

Participants must provide accurate information, complete required instructional hours, maintain attendance and comply with course procedures.

False or misleading information may result in denial or suspension of enrollment, subject to applicable requirements and contractual obligations.

6. RECORDS, VERIFICATION & ACCOUNTABILITY

ARG shall maintain appropriate training records, including:

• Trainer authorization documentation.
• Course dates, schedules and instructional topics.
• Student enrollment and attendance records.
• Instructional hours and course completion documentation.
• Official card requests and related correspondence.
• Authorized exceptions, incidents and corrective actions, where applicable.

Official Outreach training records shall be retained for at least five years, consistent with applicable program requirements.

ARG shall cooperate with properly authorized compliance reviews and preserve relevant documentation when compliance concerns arise.

7. ENFORCEMENT & CORRECTIVE ACTION

When applicable training requirements cannot be satisfied, ARG may postpone, suspend, cancel or correct the training process as appropriate.

Payment, urgent employment needs or client pressure do not entitle any individual or organization to bypass mandatory program requirements.

8. POLICY ADMINISTRATION & INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

It is subject to review and revision when OSHA Outreach Training Program requirements, industry-specific procedures or ATO instructions change.
