Maritime Outreach Is Classroom-Only

OSHA Outreach Training Program

The OSHA 30 Maritime course is for shipyard, marine terminal, and longshoring workers with supervisory or safety responsibility. It is classroom training — minimum 4 days, maximum 7.5 hours per day, no authorized online option — taught by an OSHA-authorized maritime outreach trainer for roughly $400-$800. Content goes deep into 29 CFR 1915 (shipyards), 1917 (marine terminals), and 1918 (longshoring): confined and enclosed space entry with the 19.5%-22.0% oxygen range and below-10%-LEL criterion, Marine Chemist Safe-for-Hot-Work certificates, fire watches when combustibles are within 35 feet, the 5-foot shipyard fall protection trigger and PFDs over water, rigging and crane load rules, asbestos/lead/hexavalent chromium exposure limits, lockout/tags-plus under 1915.89, and 29 CFR 1904 recordkeeping with 8-hour fatality reporting. There is no standardized national exam — trainers administer topic quizzes and verify attendance, then issue the DOL card, which does not expire. Practicing exam-style questions on the specific numbers and certificate rules is the fastest way to retain the material.

C.30 days
D.90 days
Explanation: Section 11(c) of the OSH Act gives workers 30 calendar days from the retaliatory action to file a whistleblower complaint with OSHA.
3A rigger is struck by a swinging cargo draft and is admitted to the hospital as an in-patient. Under 29 CFR 1904.39, within how many hours of learning of the hospitalization must the employer report it to OSHA?
A.8 hours
B.12 hours

A.February 1 through April 30 of the year following the year covered
B.January 1 through March 1
C.February 1 through March 31
D.Continuously throughout the entire calendar year
Explanation: 29 CFR 1904.32 requires the certified Form 300A summary to be posted in a conspicuous place from February 1 through April 30 of the year following the year covered by the records.
5How long must a shipyard retain its OSHA 300 Logs, 301 Incident Reports, and 300A summaries?
A.1 year from the date of the last entry
B.5 years following the end of the calendar year the records cover
C.3 years from the date of each injury
D.30 years, the same as employee exposure records
Explanation: 29 CFR 1904.33 requires injury and illness records to be saved for 5 years following the end of the calendar year they cover, with 300 Logs updated during that period.
6After a recordable injury occurs on the pier, within how long must the employer complete the OSHA Form 301 Injury and Illness Incident Report?
A.30 calendar days
B.24 hours
C.7 calendar days
D.10 working days
Explanation: 29 CFR 1904.29(b)(3) requires the employer to complete the OSHA 301 incident report (or equivalent) within 7 calendar days of receiving information that a recordable case occurred.

A.A small cut treated only by cleaning and an adhesive bandage
B.A laceration closed with sutures
C.A back strain resulting in two days of restricted work
D.A flash burn that causes a brief loss of consciousness
Explanation: Cases treated only with first aid — such as cleaning a wound and applying a bandage — are not recordable under 29 CFR 1904.7. Recording is triggered by medical treatment beyond first aid, restricted work, days away, or loss of consciousness.
8A shipfitter is crushed by plate steel and dies from the injuries 18 days later. What does 29 CFR 1904.39 require the employer to do?
A.Nothing, because the death occurred more than a week after the incident
B.Report the death within 24 hours
C.Report only if OSHA opens an inspection of the shipyard
D.Report the fatality to OSHA within 8 hours of learning of it, because the death occurred within 30 days of the incident
Explanation: A fatality must be reported within 8 hours if the death occurs within 30 days of the work-related incident. At 18 days, this death is reportable within 8 hours of the employer learning of it.
9What is the primary purpose of a workplace incident investigation in a shipyard safety program?
A.To determine which employee should be disciplined for the event
B.To identify root causes and system failures so similar incidents can be prevented
C.To satisfy the insurance carrier's claims documentation requirements
D.To document that the injured employee violated a written safety rule
Explanation: Effective incident investigations look past the immediate act to root causes — failed defenses, missing procedures, inadequate training — so corrective actions prevent recurrence. Blame-focused investigations suppress reporting.
