OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training Course

What Is OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training?

The OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course is entry-level safety training designed to raise awareness of workplace hazards and worker rights under OSHA 29 CFR 1910. As part of OSHA's Outreach Training Program. It is one of the entry-level offerings within the broader OSHA 10-Hour Training program, focused on helping workers in general industry settings recognize and respond to common on-the-job risks.

You'll learn OSHA standards and commonly accepted safety practices for reducing accidents and injuries, covering common general industry hazards such as fall protection, electrical and chemical risks, flammable substances, fire prevention, and the proper use of personal protective equipment.

You'll also gain a clear understanding of your rights as a worker and what your employer is responsible for when it comes to maintaining a safe workplace, giving you the awareness and confidence to recognize when safety standards aren't being met.

The OSHA 10-hour General Industry Outreach Training course has been reviewed and authorized by OSHA for online distribution. OSHA-authorized Outreach training courses are provided in partnership with 360training.
