OSHA 10-Hour Training

Though there is technically no such thing as ‘OSHA 10 Certification’, those who use the phrase are likely referring to an Outreach program. You can find a list of authorized trainers on OSHA.gov to help workers like you find a legitimate training provider (Note: 360training is on this list).

If you pass a course from an authorized training provider like us, the Department of Labor will issue you an official card. These cards aren't mandatory everywhere, but they may be required by your state or employer. Find out more about our program by watching our video.

Construction

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration defines "construction work" as work for construction, repairs, painting, and decorating. Generally, you will need OSHA Construction training if you’re a construction worker or a contractor.

All entry-level construction workers need the 10-Hour Construction Safety Outreach, with some workers may requiring additional training for specialized work.

General Industry

General Industry refers to any industry not included in construction, maritime, or agriculture. Some examples are healthcare, manufacturing, cosmetology, automotive, and warehousing. All employers must conduct basic workplace safety training.

Low-risk industries don't require anything as thorough. However, there isn't a universal rule for the specific occupations requiring OSHA training, and regulations differ state by state. Check for your state requirements here.

When you complete an online training program, instead of receiving a certification or certificate, you earn a Department of Labor card. This shows employers that you've met your OSHA training requirements, and they can let you on the job site.

Most providers make you wait 6-8 weeks to get your card. We make sure your DOL card arrives in 2 weeks so that you can get to work fast.

And to ensure you're selecting the right course, always make sure your training is from an authorized provider, like OSHAcampus® by 360training.

After completing your course, return to your "My Training" page and click the certificate icon. From here, you can view and print your temporary certificate of completion.

You can take all of our online courses conveniently from your home. With our self-paced courses, you can meet requirements at any time within a year of your purchase.

The online 10-hour courses generally cost between $60 and $90. OSHA doesn't allow for much flexibility in the material covered, so online safety courses will be roughly equivalent to each other.

The final exam for the 10 credit-hour courses is 40 questions long. You must achieve a score of at least 70% to pass.

Though DOL cards don't expire at the federal level, some states or industries do have specific frequency requirements. For those that don't have renewal requirements, we still recommend you renew your training every 3-4 years to keep up with any updates to OSHA regulations. 

You must complete and pass the course curriculum successfully before CEUs can be earned.
