What’s The Difference: OSHA 10 or Cal/OSHA 10?

The federal OSHA 10 Outreach certification training is one of the best attended sessions offered in the past five years. This year has the newly “certified” fully California edition Cal/OSHA 10 Hazard Awareness for Construction.
“What’s the difference” is one of the most asked questions whether phoned-in or e-mailed to Expo staff. First, you could not find two better instructors than Mark Aniello, ECR and Bob Downey, RED Safety Consulting, as the bookends for the 2010 Safety Expo. Anyone who has participated in any training by either of these two professionals; knows that they have been trained by two of the very best!
The Federal OSHA 10 is nationally recognized, and a valued card no matter where you work particularly if your company has job sites outside the state of California. California has been recognized for years as the innovator in safety and as such, California leads the way in safe practices often far more stringent than nationally or the surrounding states. Therefore, if you have the Cal/OSHA ticket, you will know that you have been trained at the leading edge of core California standards. The Cal/OSHA 10 will certainly grow with more instructors certified and qualified to teach it — this is an opportunity to be trained by one of the first and best.
As for the ‘gold standard Fed-OSHA ticket’ to a job site, the OSHA 10 Outreach is now often required just to be on the job site. For those looking to keep their job or move their name up the list to get a job this is the training you need! Both of these sessions have mandated limits on class size and they are filling quickly, therefore visit www.sacsafetyexpo.com – register for the Safety Expo, and get in a workshop.
As a final note, you will notice that there is an “add-on” fee of $25 for both these workshops. That money goes directly to the instructor for materials and information binder, and the processing and mailing of the individual certification cards.
Registration is still only $50 for all three days of nearly 140 sessions at the 2010 Safety Expo.
