Mid-America OSHA Education Center

What Mid-America OSHA Education Center does

Mid-America OSHA Education Center is a non-profit, OSHA-authorized Outreach Training Center headquartered in Springboro, Ohio, that delivers federally-aligned occupational safety and health education across OSHA Region V (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota). Operating as a cooperative effort between OSHA, the U.S. Department of Labor, and its parent/sponsor organization, the Ohio Valley Construction Education Foundation, it is one of only 27 federally authorized training centers in the United States and has been issuing OSHA-numbered course completions for over 20 years. The organization maintains a 7-employee footprint and a horizontal go-to-market via direct, website-based course registration supplemented by an email newsletter, downloadable catalog, and toll-free phone support.

The core product portfolio includes OSHA 10- and 30-hour Outreach training, the OSHA 500/501/502/503 trainer certification series, standards-specific courses (electrical, scaffolding, confined space, excavation, ergonomics, hazardous materials), the Safety Professional Certificate Program (SPCP), the DOL-recognized OSHA Public Sector Safety & Health Fundamentals Certificate Program, and the OSHA Challenge Program for Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) readiness. Delivery spans three channels: in-person classroom instruction at metropolitan venues across Region V, Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) via Zoom, and on-site/contract training at employer worksites. The organization also resells access to a 300+ course online library through a partnership with Click-Safety.

The revenue model is predominantly transactional course registration fees ($156–$884 per course), with subscription-style recurring enrollment in the SPCP ($149/month plus a $154.96 application fee) and professional services revenue from on-site safety consulting (job site audits, compliance assistance, toolbox talks, program development, accident investigation, and recordkeeping support). Customer segments span construction, general industry, healthcare, public sector/government, and military, with no single named enterprise customer disclosed and a long-tail mix of individual registrants and contract-training engagements.

Emerging players

• CareerSafe: OSHA-Authorized Online Provider focused on workplace safety training for youth, students, and entry-level workers. Targets adjacent segments of the same regulatory training market with an online-first model.
• 360training.com: Large online compliance training marketplace with OSHA-accepted career and safety courses. Competes on convenience and price for OSHA outreach training, particularly the 10/30-hour programs that anchor Mid-America's catalog.
• Safety Unlimited: OSHA Outreach Training Provider offering OSHA 10/30-hour courses, construction safety, and related safety training primarily in California. Comparable catalog mix but with regional concentration in OSHA Region IX.
• Click-Safety: Online OSHA safety training provider offering 300+ asynchronous courses. Already partners with Mid-America for extended online offerings, but also competes for the same OSHA 10/30-hour and standards-course market via lower-cost online delivery.

Others

• Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): National construction trade association that hosts OSHA training at its chapters — including the Northern Ohio Chapter ABC venue used by Mid-America. Provides infrastructure and customer access for OSHA training but does not directly deliver numbered courses itself.

Broad incumbents

• National Safety Council: A large established safety training organization offering overlapping OSHA and workplace safety courses, first aid/CPR, and defensive driving. Operates at much broader scale across many safety verticals beyond OSHA's regulatory scope.

• Construction Safety Council: Chicago-area OSHA training provider focused on construction industry safety courses. Overlaps with Mid-America on construction OSHA 10/30-hour outreach training and trainer certification, particularly for the Illinois market within Region V.
• Chesapeake Region Safety Council: Another OSHA-authorized OTI Education Center delivering OSHA numbered courses and outreach training across OSHA Region III. Direct peer in the same regulatory framework but serving Mid-Atlantic states instead of Region V.
