Training Information
OSHA Training
Every student coming into the college is required to attend the mandatory Work Program Orientation during Orientation Week or any of the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) as part of their New Student Orientation. OSHA requires every new student to receive the health and safety information given in this seminar. Students not in compliance may not be allowed to work. This will, in turn, lead to under-time hours. If a student accrues more than 10 hours under-time, this will lead to work probation and possibly suspension from the college. Students needing the training should call the OST Director (ext. 3017) to schedule training.
