OSHA 10-Hour Training

Officially, there’s no such thing as "OSHA certification," and OSHA discourages the phrase. When websites use the term, they generally refer to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Outreach program. Completing an OSHA 10-hour or 30-hour course provides a Department of Labor (DOL) card, demonstrating knowledge of workplace safety and OSHA regulations. Many employers require OSHA Outreach training to ensure compliance and reduce workplace hazards. 

An OSHA (DOL) card is an official card that the US Department of Labor (DOL) issues to those who have completed an authorized 10-hour Outreach Training Program. An OSHA card is required in certain states and by many types of employers.

No. Never. But some employers, unions, states, or jurisdictions may require you to retake it.

After successful completion of OSHA 10 training, you are able to prove that you completed OSHA-aligned training, helping you get a new job or keep the one that you enjoy. 

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 for OSHA-Authorized Training).

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 your state or employer may require them. Please find out more about our program by watching our video.

OSHA requires a minimum of 10 hours of seat time for online OSHA Outreach training. However, this does not include the time spent on quizzes, module assessments, or the final exam, so the total time needed to complete the course will vary based on your individual pace. Additionally, OSHA imposes daily time limits on course progress, which can further affect how long it takes to finish.

Important: You will only be able to access the final exam after:

• Meeting the minimum 10-hour seat time requirement
• Completing all lessons, modules, and quizzes

For more details on these rules and requirements, please refer to the rest of our FAQs.

The final exam for the ten credit-hour courses is 20 questions long. You must achieve a score of at least 70% to pass.

• You must spend the required time in the course curriculum before the course can be completed.
• You must validate your identity throughout the learning event to successfully pass the course.
• Pass all quizzes and the final exam with a score of at least 70% in three attempts or less before a certificate of completion can be issued and CEUs can be awarded.
