OSHA 30 Hour Training

What is OSHA 30 Training?

"OSHA 30" is the Outreach training intended for those with supervisory duties, including safety directors, forepersons, and field supervisors. This 30-hour course covers a more extensive range of topics, as supervisors need to know the rules for everyone working under them.

30-Hour courses differ by industry, with an industry-specific program for construction workers (OSHA 30 Construction), and a General Industry for everyone else. 

General Industry is perfect for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, healthcare, and other medium/high-risk industries.

Do I Need Construction or General Industry Training?

Who Needs Construction?

You require OSHA Construction training if you’re a construction worker or a contractor. OSHA includes all work for construction, alteration, repair, painting, and decorating in its construction category.

Some construction workers may need additional training for specialized work, and anyone with supervisory responsibilities should take OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety Outreach Training. Watch our OSHA 30 construction video.

Who Needs General Industry?

General Industry is much broader. It includes, but is not limited to, healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and retail. For more specialized work, OSHA requires specific training. Examples include when working in confined spaces, operating heavy equipment, and working with hazardous chemicals.

How Many Questions Are on the OSHA 30 Final Exam?

The final exam for OSHA 30-Hour courses includes 100 questions, requiring a minimum score of 70% to pass.

What Happens if You Fail OSHA 30?

All online OSHA courses are Pass/Fail, meaning they are not graded. You will be given three attempts to pass an exam and must score at least 70% to pass. If you receive a failing grade three times on any one exam, it is considered a failure from the course. To retake the exam, you need to register for a new OSHA 30 course and start from the beginning.

Is it Worth Getting OSHA Certified?

Officially, there’s no such thing as "OSHA certification," and OSHA discourages the use of the phrase. When websites use the phrase, they are generally referring to OSHA's Outreach program. If you pass a course from an authorized training provider, like the ones on this page, the DOL will issue you an official 30-Hour card. Though these cards aren't required by OSHA, they are required by certain states and kinds of employers.

How Long is OSHA Training Good For?

Although DOL cards don't expire at the federal level, some states and industries have their unique requirements. Regardless, we recommend you renew your training every 3-4 years to stay up to date with any OSHA regulation changes.
