Description
Established by the U.S. Department of Labor, the OSHA Training Institute at UC San Diego was one of four original Occupational Training and Education Centers (OTIECs). We offer high quality, standards-based OSHA training in California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii. Since 1992, many thousands of safety and health professionals have attended our courses and earned our Professional Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health.

SPECIFIC DUTIES
Qualified instructors are expected to:
The OSHA Training Institute prefers that all approved instructors first audit the course. Prior to teaching the course, the UC San Diego OTIEC will contact you with scheduling options and facilitate your participation in the course.
Instructors must be careful not to participate in or promote training programs or consulting services which compete with similar UC San Diego OTIEC training during or after class and to adhere to the highest professional ethics.
As an academic department within UC San Diego, all Extension Program instructors and courses must be formally approved according to the regulations of the Academic Senate of the University of California. Eligibility to teach a course is contingent upon this formal academic approval. Once approved, teaching assignments are “by agreement”. The instructor’s Letter of Agreement outlines the deliverables for the course, the course schedule, and compensation terms, and is subject to department policies and procedures. UC San Diego Extension makes no commitment to hire an instructor until it has sent and received a signed instructor Letter of Agreement. Should the course section an instructor plans to teach be cancelled for any reason, the instructor agreement, including rights to compensation for future section meetings, is voided. Remuneration is for classroom hours only and does not include time spent for course preparation or other events.
UC San Diego is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values a diverse workforce.
