- What if your OSHA 500 or 502 card is expired?
- Effective January 1, 2019 – Cards will NOT be accepted past the expiration date.
- If your card is expired, you are NOT eligible to take OSHA 502. You must take OSHA 510, if you have not taken it previously, and then take OSHA 500. You will also have to submit your 5 or more years of construction safety experience for review and approval.
- Can you start a 502 on the day your card expires?
- Yes, for example, if your previous 502 card expires on July 25th, you may start a 502 that begins on July 25th. Expiration dates are treated just like driver’s licenses, they technically expire at 11:59 pm on the date of expiration. The rule says you must begin your renewal before your card expires.
- Trainers are required to complete a training update course every 4 years.
OSHA 510

FAQ
- What is required of you to teach the OSHA 10?
- One would have to take the OSHA 510 class as one of two prerequisites.
- The other prerequisite is having 5 years of construction safety experience submitted to the ALLIANCE and approved by OSHA.
- Then one can take the OSHA 500 class once those two prerequisites are met.
