Get Your Official OSHA DOL Card

What Is an OSHA Card?

An OSHA card is an informal shorthand for the durable plastic card issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) when you complete an OSHA Outreach course. Officially, these are known as DOL cards.

They show your name, course type, and completion date — information employers will typically ask for when they need proof of the training you've completed.

There are multiple types of DOL OSHA cards, represented through four different "industries" with two education levels each.

Keep in mind, OSHA DOL card "industries" aren't always real or specific industries. Instead, they're grouped together by OSHA standard number:

• Construction DOL cards cover the standards in §1926 targeted to the construction industry.
• General Industry cards cover the standards in §1910, designed for everyone who doesn't fall into one of the above categories.
• Maritime DOL cards are subdivided into Shipyard (§1915), Marine Terminal (§1917), and Longshoring (§1918).
• Disaster Worker cards are designed for skilled support workers or site cleanup services that respond to man-made or natural disasters.

OSHA.com offers the most common Outreach training to earn an OSHA DOL card, Construction and General Industry. General Industry applies to workplaces ranging from manufacturing and warehousing to healthcare, retail, and hospitality.

Within each industry, shorter courses are designed for workers, while longer courses are intended for supervisors or individuals with safety responsibilities. Disaster worker courses are slightly shorter than those for other industries.

DOL Card Colors and Designs

DOL cards are color-coded by industry and level, but the design changed in March of 2016. As a result, you may see two different styles depending on when the card was issued.

For the courses offered through OSHA.com, the card design variations are as follows:

• OSHA 10 Construction 

  New cards are white with a yellow/light gold stripe behind the course title. 
  Older cards have a yellow/light gold background;

• OSHA 10 General Industry 

  New cards are white with a light blue title stripe. 
  Older cards have a muted blue background.

• OSHA 30 Construction 

  New cards are white with an orange/dark gold stripe behind the course title. 
  Older cards have an orange/dark gold background.

• OSHA 30 General Industry 

  New cards are white with a navy blue title stripe. 
  Older cards have a bold blue background.

The remaining industry card designs are:

• OSHA 10 Maritime 

  New cards are white with a light green title stripe. 
  Older cards have a background that fades from white to light blue with a light blue title font.

• OSHA 7.5 Disaster Site Worker 

  New cards are white with a dark red title stripe. 
  Older cards have a background made of a gray graphic with a light green title font.

How to Get an OSHA Card

You get an OSHA card by completing an OSHA-authorized Outreach course and meeting all Department of Labor requirements.

• Step 1: Take an OSHA-Authorized Course 

  Enroll in an OSHA 10-Hour or OSHA 30-Hour Outreach course with an OSHA-authorized training provider. OSHA.com offers multiple qualifying courses designed to meet OSHA Outreach training requirements.

• Step 2: Complete the Required Training Time 

  OSHA card requirements dictate that students must complete the full course length (10 or 30 hours). Breaks, quizzes, and exams do not count toward this time. Courses are completed over multiple days due to daily training limits.

• Step 3: Pass the Final Exam and Survey 

  To earn a DOL card OSHA credential, you must pass the final exam with at least a 70% score and complete the required end-of-course survey.

• Step 4: Receive Your Official OSHA Card 

  After successful completion, your official OSHA DOL card is issued and mailed as proof of training through the OSHA Outreach program.
