Dear Friend,
First realize that OSHA training is conducted based on statutes (CFR- Code of federal regulations) prevailing in USA.
You can be trained for OSHA 30 hours for construction Industry or OSHA 30 hours for General Industry. OSHA 10 hour is for employees where as 30 hour is for safety people.
Depending up on which country you are; the qualifications prescribed for safety officers differ. Some countries do not even prescribe any qualification and any one who can do the prescribed job can be a safety officer. In this case the employer decides the caliber. OSHA card is an added credential and often preferred but it does not gaurentee any employment.
However American companies now prefer OSHA certified personnel as safety
officers. Because of this in Middle East countries most employers ask for OSHA certified personnel as Safety officer.
In case you send me all the details such as your qualifications, age, experience, country where you seek employment as safety officer etc. I may be able to be of some further help.

Hi Thiyagarajan
If you are in chennai - then try finding Jacob Mathew. He runs the institute where he offers OSHA 30 hrs General Industry training. He also conducts NEBOSH courses.
This guy is recognised OSHA Trainer. Try finding through yellow pages. He will also offer job openings in safety if required. If I recall the contact number then I'll inform accordingly.
But why do you want to transfer from HR to Safety? I am Fire Professional and now in HSEF department. I have completed my MBA in HR - but challenges in my field are so enthusistic that I dont plan to shift to HR completely but am utilizing the knowledge of my HR in HSEF. I would like to just put my free advise that once you are experienced in HR field go ahead and get more expertise in your relevent field and if you are going for training in OSHA then try implementing the knowedge in your field specially during recruitment - as safety is of prime importance.
Well whatever you choose - BEST OF LUCK IN LIFE.
Best Regards

Dear thi4parent1984
You are from HR, now desire a change to Safety. Your reasoning is “Safety Officers job is so attractive” with very high a salary, status and easy job. How you can get in to it?
You have heard about OSHA. From media and friends you take that undergoing OSHA training will help you get the job.
In India one has to meet the statutory requirement on qualifications to become safety officer - minimum engineering diploma with post diploma in Safety engineering and so on. Here you have no chance.
Scope is in Middle East.
You can get a job as safety officer irrespective of your qualifications there. Most of the safety officers there were not having much of an educational qualification. Experienced employees who can just manage the safety functions used to be designated as Safety Officers. Of late the condition is changing.
Getting experienced workers for other trades is also difficult. So transferring a good worker to safety is not resorted to. They recruit fresh trained ones as safety officer. Chances are only in construction safety. (There is another area where if trained you stand a chance and that is Hygiene Officer in services industry like food industries, Hotels etc.- which is also a part of safety with specialization on hygiene)
If you join a reputed safety training institute for a minimum of six months course and develop competency I am sure that you can easily get into this profession in Middle East.
Most of the institutes now in India conducting safety training have no expert faculty who has exposure to Middle East, construction experience and much knowledge in the subject. I am sure that the best faculty in these institutes will not even know the definition of occupational safety or weight of a helmet. It is as simple as that. They are just reading out the readily available notes and even without your attending classes giving you certificates.
If you are determined spend sometime to find a suitable training institute first.
As mentioned the paper certificate is not that important in Middle East though they prefer it now a days. What they really want is competency -knowledge, skill and attitude to do the job at site from the very first day.
With your educational background it will be easy for you to master the job fast. Even while undergoing the trainings you can start attending the interviews and with luck even before completing the course you may fly.
OSHA will not help you to master the job requirement. There are two courses OSHA 10 hrs and 30 Hrs. 10 Hrs for workers and 30 hrs for safety people. With in this short time they expose you to selected topics and not everything you should have. If you so prefer; while undergoing safety training you can take OSHA too, which can just add up to your credential.
I am an OSHA trainer myself and you can see reason to take my advice.
For further help if any in the matter please just mention it.

Dear Sir,
The reason behind my career change is to earn money.
At this point of time i am earning very less with 3 years of experience.
I am working for ABAN as HR payroll here i get inspired about the nature of job & skills required for the job.
I asked my companies Senior Safety Officer regarding this he said simple.
Not to sturdy in India.
He wants to sturdy in US or in Singapore.
One of my school friend is in Singapore, I have inquired him to get details about the Training Classes fee etc.
He has replied me asking for some time since he is working Army.
I also walked in a Training institute in Chennai which has Training classes conducted in PUDUKKOTTAI - Tamil Nadu

They have operations in India & Singapore.
But the course fee is too high which is no affordable for me [1.25 Lac]
I am still doing a research work about the course i am aiming to become as a Safety Officer.
My Father is former he depends on my income.
Is it possible to apply for Bank Loan if wanna to sturdy Aboard.
I also spoke with one of my Senior HR Person in my office.
She said to undergo an Medical Test to qualify for working in RIGS.
Also some of the Mandatory trainings like STCW 95,PSSR, PSM , PHA , PST , EFA , AFF , FPFF.
I searched in net and got some knowledge about it.
I feel like these mandatory will be included in OSHA itself but i am not sure.Can you please tell me what will be the other test & Trainings that i need to undergo if i need become a Safety Officer.
Kindly advise.
STCW - 95 [ Standards of Training Certification & Watch Keeping for Seafarers 95 ]
PSSR [ Pre-start up Safety Review ]
PSM [ OSHAS Process Safety Management ]
PHA [ Process Hazards Analysis ]
PST [ Personal Survival Techniques ]
EFA [ Electronic Fire Alarm ]

Dear Friend,
I will send you the topics for OSHA 30 hours. There are many more to learn to become a safety officer.
'
If you are determined to shift then only read further pl.
From industry to industry the training required for a safety officer is different. Job of a safety officer in construction is entirely different from that of a process industry. Same way safety in rigs, off shore and onshore, engineering industry and chemical industry, foundry and forging, paper industry are all different though safety principles are same. All those training topics you mentioned are of no use to become a safety officer though such trainings may be of help.
Since you have no engineering background I can not advise to try in Singapore. As a S.O. you do not stand a chance in USA too. Your chances are in constrution in Middle East and the salary is far better there.
If you so desire you can undergo OSHA training on line, the cost may be about 300 USD. In case you can make a trip to Kerala and spend about 2 weeks you can complete the course under me and get the certificate card from USA in another 3 weeks.
Another method is to study industrial safety through distance learning. In case you are unable to locate a suitable institute for this mention it such that I may be able help you.
