The 47-Hour Construction Safety Trainer program is designed for professionals who want to:

• Teach safety topics at your worksite
• Train employees or teams that work at your company
• Lead safety training within your organization

Training certification, whether it is online or in the classroom, is only the first step toward becoming a qualified safety trainer within a company. You must do more. You may conduct safety training only after you are evaluated, certified, and authorized by your employer to do so. However, it's important for legal reasons that you meet specific criteria that enable the employer to justify certifying you as a qualified safety trainer within the company. To meet the qualifications of certification as a safety trainer in your company, you should:

• have the necessary knowledge, training, and experience, as determined by the employer, in the safety topics being trained
• complete a "Safety Train-the-Trainer" program, such as the OSHACademy 47-hour Construction Train-the-Trainer program
• demonstrate the ability to develop and present training in a manner and in the language that is understood by employees
• have your knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) evaluated by an employer-appointed competent and qualified person
• demonstrate, through evaluation by a competent person, that employees have gained the required KSAs to work in a safe and healthful manner on the job
• receive, from the employer, an official written certification as a qualified safety trainer.

The employer should appoint and formally certify that you have met their requirements as a qualified safety trainer. In effect, you become a certified safety trainer, but the scope of your certification is limited to the company. The certification is not national in scope.

Note: If you are interested in nationally recognized certification as a qualified safety professional/trainer, you need to meet certain experience, educational, and exam requirements from a credentialing organization like the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. The BCSP awards the Certified Instruction Trainer (CIT) to those who qualify.
