OSHA TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
In a Nutshell
Who must receive OSHA training?
Training is required for all employees who may be at risk for the hazard being discussed. This
includes part-time employees, contract employees, and agency employees.
It does not include self-employed personnel, students, or volunteers, unless some form of
compensation is involved.
It does not include employees of employers who are renting space from you.
It does include home healthcare workers, cleaning crew, repairpersons, or any other
employee who may be at risk for exposure to a specific hazard while on the job.
When must the training take place?
The training must be completed before the employee is put at risk for exposure. It must be offered
during normal working hours and at no expense to the employee. There must be additional training
anytime a new hazard is introduced, and refresher training must be provided annually. It must
include site-specific information, and someone must be available to answer questions in person.
 Include those new hires who have just been trained in annual training also.
What topics must be covered?
Training must cover all hazards to which the employee(s) may be exposed. It must include the
employees’ rights under OSHA, information about the hazard(s), the employer’s written protection
program, all protective measures employees must take, how to recognize and report occupational
illnesses and injuries, and how the employee will be assisted if these occur.
An outline for OSHA training in outpatient settings is on the next page.
What about training records?
Training records must be kept for at least three years. Training records must include the date of the
training, the contents of the training, names and job titles of those who attended the training, and
qualifications of the trainer.
Documentation forms follow.
