OSHA Wisconsin Online Training

Until Congress created OSHA in the early 1970s, there was very little government involvement with the health and safety of workers. Now, there are numerous laws that apply in every state, including Wisconsin, that protect employees from jobsite hazards.

However, with so many different OSHA regulations in place, it can be confusing to understand what your responsibilities are, and which safety laws apply in Wisconsin. To make it a little easier for you to navigate, we’re taking a look at OSHA standards in Wisconsin, including OSHA training recommendations; how you can get your OSHA training; and why OSHA Wisconsin training is essential for workers in the state.

OSHA Wisconsin Training Requirements

Officially, Wisconsin is not a "state plan" state, which means OSHA has never given its stamp of approval to a state-level occupational health and safety program that meets or exceeds federal standards. Because of this, Wisconsinites working in the private sector fall under federal OSHA jurisdiction.

When it comes to training, OSHA mandates training on certain topics, meaning Outreach courses are not required by federal or state laws. However, OSHA does recommend that workers complete OSHA Outreach training as an orientation to the safety hazards they will encounter on the job.

Additionally, even though OSHA Outreach training isn't required by law, many Wisconsin employers will require it as part of their safety programs. The most common OSHA training courses are OSHA 10-Hour for entry-level workers and OSHA 30-Hour for supervisors.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OSHA 10-HOUR AND 30-HOUR COURSES

We offer OSHA 10-Hour ConstructionOSHA 30-Hour ConstructionOSHA 10-Hour General Industry, and OSHA 30-Hour General Industry to meet your OSHA training needs.

Benefits of OSHA Wisconsin Training for Workers

When it comes to OSHA training, the main reason Wisconsin workers should complete it is to ensure they know how to prevent accidents, injuries, and fatalities at work. Additionally, when Wisconsin employers invest in OSHA training, they can reduce or evade OSHA penalties, lower workers’ compensation costs, and increase worker morale.

And if you’re not convinced that OSHA training will really help keep your workplace safe, take a look at some statistics from OSHA, the Department of Labor, and other Wisconsin government agencies. These statistics show how important OSHA training is for workplace safety.
