OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training Course

OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training Overview

Our OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training course provides safety managers, supervisors, and team leaders with the in-depth knowledge needed to create and maintain a safer workplace. You’ll learn how to navigate the key OSHA policies, procedures, and standards outlined in 29 CFR 1910, giving you the tools to identify hazards and help reduce workplace risks. This course is part of the broader OSHA 30-Hour Training program, which covers both construction and general industry to meet the needs of any worksite.

Key takeaways include:

• How to build, manage, and improve workplace health and safety programs
• Employer responsibilities and worker rights under OSHA
• How to recognize and control common hazards, such as machine guarding, electrical risks, bloodborne pathogens, and more
• OSHA standards and commonly accepted safety practices for hazard communication, emergency response, and industrial hygiene

This course is NOT for the construction industry. There is a separate OSHA 30-Hour Construction course that addresses the specific standards for that industry.

The OSHA 30-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.

Who Needs OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training?

This course is designed for supervisors, safety managers, team leaders, and workers with safety responsibilities in non-construction general industry environments. It is particularly valuable for those overseeing workplace safety programs or managing teams across industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, retail, and logistics.

While OSHA 30 is not federally required, it is commonly taken by those responsible for maintaining a safe workplace and ensuring their organization meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910 standards. OSHA also requires more specialized training for certain tasks such as confined space entry, operating heavy equipment, and working with hazardous chemicals.
