OSHA Training in Boise ID

Who regulates worker safety and OSHA training in Boise ID? Worker safety for private companies in Boise and the rest of the state of Idaho is regulated by the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Because Idaho does not operate an approved state OSHA program for public employees at the state or political sub-division (e.g.: municipal, county, public schools and universities) level, regulated employers needing OSHA training in Boise ID would comply with Federal OSHA’s standards.

OSHA Training Regulations and Standards

Regulated employers needing OSHA training in Boise Idaho are governed by the Federal OSHA health and safety standards found in the 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These include, but are not limited to, the OSHA workplace poster requirements in Part 1903, OSHA injury and illness record-keeping requirements in Part 1904, general industry standards in Part 1910, maritime standards in Parts 1915, 1917 and 1918, construction standards in Part 1926, and agricultural standards in Part 1928.

Many of these OSHA standards require that employers provide their employees with OSHA training and information on a variety of health and safety topics. Links to see federal OSHA training requirements for construction and general industry are available below on this page.

Authorized OSHA Trainers in Boise ID

There is no official certification required to teach most OSHA training classes in Boise ID. However, you must make certain that on site OSHA 10 or 30-hour training classes are conducted by a trainer who is officially authorized to conduct these OSHA courses. The trainer must first complete a series of OSHA trainer classes provided by one of the OSHA Education centers located around the country. You can confirm their status as a currently authorized OSHA Outreach trainer by asking to look at their credentials proving they completed the following trainer courses.

Construction industry trainers must successfully complete the OSHA 510 course, followed by the OSHA 500 course. This qualifies the trainer to conduct OSHA 10-hour construction training in Boise ID and anywhere else in the state for a four-year period. The trainer is also authorized to conduct OSHA 30-hour construction training in Boise and elsewhere in the state. To maintain their status as an authorized OSHA Outreach trainer for construction, they must complete the OSHA 502 trainer update course every four years.

Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Accepted in Boise ID

There are also OSHA-authorized online 10 and 30-hour training courses available for construction and general industry. However, you must pay close attention, as only those course providers that are specifically authorized to provide these courses can issue trainees the official DOL / OSHA 10 or 30-hour wallet cards. There are plenty of imitators out there who use deceptive fine print and “too good to be true” pricing to sell you a course that is not OSHA authorized. You can rest assured that the 10 and 30-hour online OSHA training courses offered on our website are authorized by OSHA, and are accepted in Boise ID as well as in all other states and US territories.
