OSHA 30-Hour Construction Certificate & DOL Card

OSHA does not "certify" workers. This OSHA-authorized Outreach Training for Construction course results in an official OSHA 30 Department of Labor (DOL) card, a widely recognized credential available through the Outreach Training Program.

Upon successful completion, you will receive:

• An immediate certificate of completion available upon finishing the course and required survey
• An official OSHA 30 DOL card, mailed after the course and survey are completed, typically within 2 weeks

To receive your DOL card, you must complete all course modules, pass the required assessments, and submit the post-course survey. The card is then issued and mailed directly to you.

OSHA 30 DOL cards do not expire under federal OSHA. However, employers, states, cities, or individual job sites may require refresher training every 3–5 years. Always check with your employer or local jurisdiction for specific requirements.

Who Should Take OSHA 30-Hour Construction Training?

OSHA 30-Hour Construction training is designed for workers, contractors, and supervisors involved in construction activities. In its construction category, OSHA includes all work related to construction, alteration, repair, painting, and decorating. Anyone with supervisory responsibilities should prioritize this course, as it emphasizes hazard recognition and safety leadership on the job site.

Employees may need to take additional courses beyond OSHA 30-hour training to meet organizational requirements, but those are ultimately employer responsibilities. This course provides 30 hours of training on safety responsibility with an emphasis on recognizing job site hazards so you and your crew can stay safe.

If you don't work in construction but still need 30-hour OSHA training online, we offer a separate general industry course.

Our new courses leverage state-of-the-art HTML5 programming for a rich media experience that is both more accessible across browsers and mobile-capable, allowing for upgraded speed and interactivity. This leading-edge design includes games and quizzes to motivate students, enhance retention, and increase participation.
