About This Course
The OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training course is part of the OSHA Outreach Training Program, a nationally recognized program designed to help supervisors, safety managers, and workers with safety responsibilities identify, manage, and prevent workplace hazards. Grounded in OSHA 29 CFR 1910 General Industry standards, this advanced course provides in-depth coverage of safety topics including electrical safety, machine guarding, lockout/tagout, confined spaces, and hazard communication.
Upon successfully completing the course and end-of-course survey, participants receive a temporary printable certificate immediately and an official OSHA 30 General Industry DOL card within two weeks. If you are in a leadership or safety-oversight role in a general industry setting, this course equips you with the knowledge to build safer workplaces and meet employer and regulatory requirements.
