IMPORTANT- OSHA Outreach Training Program Update

Effective October 1, 2023, the cost of Outreach Training student completion cards will increase to $10 per card and $25 per replacement card. Initiated by the OSHA Office of Training and Education, this price adjustment (the first since 2017) will be implemented by all OSHA Training Institute Education Centers.
