OSHANO LONGER ACCEPTED

Beginning November 1, 2020 the IICRC will no longer accept the OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training or equivalent for the Health and Safety Technician (HST) Course for Master Designations. OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training provides broad safety information but lacks specific details in numerous areas that are necessary for inspection, cleaning, and restoration professionals to know and implement.

The HST Course from the IICRC is designed to put professionals ahead of the competition regarding health and safety. The two-day, 14-hour course covers topics such as OSHA standards, inspections, citations and penalties, record keeping, personal protective equipment (PPE), hazard communication, hazardous materials, and confined spaces and bloodborne pathogens.

Those who previously earned their Master Designations with OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training HST equivalent will maintain their designation. OSHA 10-Hour General Industry or equivalent OSHA course will be accepted through October 31, 2020.
