What Is OSHA Safety & Health 10 Hour and 30 Hour Training?
OSHA 10-30 hour training teaches basic safety and health information to workers in construction and general industry. It is part of the OSHA Outreach Training Program, which explains serious workplace hazards, workers’ rights, employer responsibilities and how to file an OSHA complaint.
Who Needs OSHA 10-Hour and 30 Hour Training?
OSHA 10-30 hour training is designed for entry-level workers in construction and general industry. While the OSHA Outreach Training Program is voluntary, employers may require you to earn an OSHA 10 or 30 hour card before you start work. This training is also mandatory in certain states, cities and local jurisdictions. If you work in any industry other than construction, agriculture or maritime, OSHA considers you a general industry worker and recommends the OSHA 10 General industry course. OSHA 30-Hour training is appropriate for supervisors and workers with some safety responsibilities. OSHA 10 Hour Training Construction & General Industry click for an overview of the program
