OSHA Training Institute Education Centers

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts short-term technical training in occupational safety and health through the OSHA Training Institute in Des Plaines, Illinois. In recent years, the number of private sector personnel and Federal personnel from agencies other than OSHA requesting training has increased beyond the capacity of the OSHA Training Institute to meet the demand. In October 1992, OSHA began a project to test the feasibility of using other training or educational institutions to conduct OSHA Training Institute courses for private sector personnel and for Federal personnel from agencies other than OSHA. Based on the success to date of this project, OSHA is expanding the program. This notice announces the opportunity for interested organizations to submit applications to become OSHA Training Institute Education Centers. Applications will be rated on a competitive basis and two organizations will be selected to participate in the project. Complete application instructions are contained in this notice. Authority for this program may be found in sections 21 (b) and (c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 670).
