Who Needs OSHA 10-Hour Training?
OSHA 10-hour training is designed for entry-level workers in construction or general industry who do not have a supervisor role or specific safety responsibilities. Supervisors and safety professionals are often required to complete OSHA 30-hour training.
Employers across a variety of industries require workers to complete OSHA Outreach training and earn an official DOL card. Certain states, cities and local jurisdictions have also made this training mandatory. However, OSHA does not require this training for all workers, and completing the course does not guarantee employment.
Which OSHA 10 Course Should I Take?
When you register for your course, you must choose between construction and general industry. Both versions cover industry-specific hazards you're likely to encounter on the job, so you should select the version that best matches the industry in which you work.
10-Hour OSHA Outreach Training Course for Construction
- Designed for workers who perform new construction, alterations or repairs
- This includes workers in demolition, building development and other fields in the construction industry
10-Hour OSHA Outreach Training Course for General Industry
- Designed for workers in any industry other than construction, agriculture or maritime

We recommend that you check with your employer to make sure you choose the course that satisfies the safety training requirements for your role.
What Is an OSHA 10 Card?
Many employers require their workers to earn an OSHA card. This refers to the card you receive after completing a 10- or 30-hour OSHA Outreach Training course. The OSHA 10 card is a plastic, wallet-sized card that is issued by the Department of Labor.
Earning an official OSHA 10 card in construction or general industry proves to employers that you have completed 10 hours of specialized workplace safety training.
What Will I Learn in the OSHA 10 Course?
Both versions of the OSHA 10-hour course explain your rights under OSHA and your employer's responsibilities related to workplace safety. You'll learn how to recognize, avoid, mitigate and prevent hazards.
The course also explains how to file an OSHA complaint and trains you for specific hazards commonly found on jobsites in your industry.

Do these courses provide OSHA 10 certification?
OSHA does not actually certify workers who complete a 10-hour Outreach training course. When employers say you need to be OSHA certified, they typically want proof that you earned an official OSHA DOL card.
According to a disclaimer on OSHA's website, "None of the courses within the Outreach Training Program is considered a certification." OSHA considers these courses to be voluntary even though many employers require an OSHA card as a condition for employment.
Do I need to complete OSHA 10-hour training in one sitting?
No, you can work through the course at your own pace. Each section has a minimum time requirement that you must meet before advancing to the next section. You'll also need to pass a quiz at the end of each section.
In fact, OSHA does not allow students to complete the training in one sitting. Because OSHA regulations state that OSHA 10 students can complete no more than 7.5 hours of training per day, it will take at least two days to complete the program.
