'''Outreach Training Program''' ('''OTP''') is an educational initiative administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) within the Department of Labor, designed to train workers and employers on workplace safety and health standards. The Outreach Training Program provides basic safety and health training to workers and employers through authorized trainers, aiming to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses, while delivering accessible, standardized courses like the 10- and 30-hour training programs to promote compliance with OSHA standards across industries. A key feature is its scale, with over 3.2 million participants trained in FY 2024 through a network of over 12,000 authorized trainers, focusing on construction, general industry, maritime, and disaster site safety. | '''Outreach Training Program''' ('''OTP''') is an educational initiative administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) within the Department of Labor, designed to train workers and employers on workplace safety and health standards. | ||
