If I earn CDIPC and/or DISIPC will I be “OSHA certified?”

Contrary to popular belief, OSHA does not actually certify workers, and you cannot get “OSHA certified”. Courses and trainers are considered OSHA “authorized”, and students receive course completion cards, but anyone claiming to be “OSHA certified” would be mistaken.

To become an authorized trainer, you must complete the OSHA Outreach Training Program. The OSHA Outreach Training Program is entirely voluntary and not required to meet OSHA training requirements. You can read more about it in the Training Requirements in OSHA Standards (PDF) document.
