OSHA Training Online

You have the right to feel safe at work. That’s why the federal government created the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, also known as OSHA. The purpose of the agency is to ensure your working conditions remain safe and secure. To do this, OSHA develops health and safety training requirements that inform you about the various hazards you might face so that you can prevent accidents and injuries.  

OSHA Training Requirements and Standards 

These OSHA standards are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and they serve as criteria for measuring whether employers are in compliance with the OSH Act laws.

OSHA safety training is especially important in certain industries that are generally more dangerous, such as agriculture, construction, health care, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Additionally, many of these industries have their own OSHA standards that address the specific risks you might face.

For instance, examples of the specific dangers in the construction industry are OSHA’s Focus Four: falls, caught in or between, struck by, and electrocution. These hazards are addressed in OSHA 10-Hour and OSHA 30-Hour construction training. They are also addressed in various heavy equipment construction training OSHA courses because workers need to understand how to safely operate the equipment they work with every day.

How to Earn OSHA DOL Cards and an OSHA Certification

Typically, when you complete your OSHA training, you’ll either earn a DOL card or a certificate. The DOL cards are specifically for OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 training courses. You do not get an OSHA certification for completing OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 courses because OSHA does not actually offer one. They only provide the DOL card which is proof you’ve completed the OSHA course. Additionally, only an authorized trainer, such as OSHA Campus by 360training, can teach the OSHA 10-Hour and OSHA 30-Hour courses and issue the DOL cards.

On the other hand, you’ll earn a certificate that you can print for completing safety courses on confined space, HAZWOPER, HazCom, and the other safety topics covered as part of OSHA standards.
