The 30-hour General Industry Outreach Training Program is
intended to provide a variety of training to workers who have some safety
responsibility. Training should emphasize hazard identification, avoidance,
control and prevention, not OSHA standards. Instructional time must be a
minimum of 30 hours. Upon successful completion these participants received an
OSHA 30 card for General Industry and the opportunity to receive Prior Learning
Experience (3 hours college credit) for Industrial safety if they were enrolled
in a degree plan at Arkansas Northeastern College.
Great River Economic Development Foundation funded a portion
of the total cost of training. Thank you Viskase, SAU Tech and GREDF. We look
forward to working together again!
