OSHA 30-Hour Construction Training Course

OSHA 30 is Outreach training for those with supervisory duties. This training is intended for safety directors, field supervisors, and forepersons. This 30-hour course covers an extensive range of topics that teach supervisors the rules for everyone working under their supervision.

OSHA 30-hour courses differ in various industries. OSHA 30 Construction is intended for personnel involved in construction, renovation, or demolition. OSHA 30 General Industry is for almost everyone else, including manufacturing, warehousing, retail, healthcare, and more.

If you’re an entry-level worker with no supervisory duties, you may be able to meet OSHA-authorized training requirements with OSHA 10, instead. Like OSHA 30, there are separate courses for each industry: OSHA 10 Construction or OSHA 10 General Industry.

Although DOL cards do not expire at the federal level, some states, local jurisdictions, and employers have their own requirements.

We recommend training renewal every 3-4 years to stay updated on Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulation changes.
