FAQ

WHAT IS OSHA 10 CERTIFICATION?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has two primary OSHA 10-hour training courses:

  • OSHA 10-hour course for Construction, and
  • OSHA 10-hour course for General Industry

Either of the OSHA 10 hour trainings can be taken two different ways. An OSHA authorized trainer can come to your site and conduct the OSHA 10 hour training class for your group of employees. You also have the option of taking the OSHA accepted online OSHA 10 hour training courses. For both the onsite and online courses, training participants get the exact same OSHA / DOL (Department of Labor) card.

WHO NEEDS OSHA 10 HOUR TRAINING?

The OSHA 10-hour courses aim at providing information needed to help line workers, foremen, supervisors, managers, superintendents, competent persons, safety staff, safety committee members, safety managers, and others, become aware of health and safety hazards and avoid them. The OSHA 10 courses also includes a brief overview of how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) functions, and the rights of employers and employees and have no prerequisites to taking either training course.

WHICH OSHA 10 COURSE DO I NEED?

There are two primary OSHA 10-hour training courses developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) according to industry. Based on which industry you are currently working in, you can choose between:

  • OSHA 10-hour course for Constructionthat has been designed for is applicable to new buildings and structures, renovation work, and demolition of structures), and
  • OSHA 10-hour course for General Industrythat has been designed for and is applicable to almost all other sectors of business,including manufacturing, service, maintenance, hospitality, food manufacturing and service, oil and gas operations, refineries, warehouses, medical and dental,  amongst several others.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 10 HOUR CONSTRUCTION AND 10 HOUR GENERAL INDUSTRY?

OSHA Construction training addresses specific safety needs of construction sites and covers 29 CFR 1926 (the construction-specific standards) and some of 1910 (general standards). OSHA Construction training is required if you are a construction worker or a contractor. Entry-level workers need OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety Outreach Training, and may also require additional training for specialized work.

Whilst OSHA has specific standards for Construction, Maritime, and Agriculture, any other employer or worker is categorized under “General Industry.” This covers everyone from manufacturing to office work. OSHA General Industry training covers standards in 29 CFR 1910.

Since “General Industry” covers a wide range of industry, all employers must conduct some basic workplace safety training. Low-risk industries, do not necessarily require an extensive 10 or 30-Hour course (also referred to as “DOL Cards”) but certain states or employers may require it. Hence check your local and industry practices.

Workers in higher-risk fields need OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Outreach Training, including healthcare, factory operations, manufacturing, and warehousing. Workers that perform specialized tasks regulated under 1910 may need additional coursework.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I SHOULD TAKE A 10-OR 30-HOUR OSHA COURSE?

OSHA 10-hour training is appropriate for entry-level workers who do not have specific safety responsibilities for their role. It is intended to make workers aware of common job-related safety and health hazards. Workers may also need additional training for specialized work assignments.

The 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility. Therefore the 30 hour course would be more appropriate if you are involved in the construction industry, at the posts including but not limited to construction workers, foremen, engineers, job supervisors, project managers, and safety specialists.

It is important to check local and industry practices as certain states or types of employers require it.

Workers in higher-risk fields such as healthcare, factory operations, manufacturing, and warehousing, need OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Outreach Training.
