OSHA Ohio Training Requirements

No person should get injured, become ill, or die for a paycheck.

OSHA has a mission to protect workers and provide training that aids in preventing work-related injuries, illnesses, and deaths. This is done by establishing and applying standards and delivering training, outreach, instruction, and assistance. OSHA standards include health and safety training for workers to have the required skills and knowledge to accomplish their work tasks safely.

Workers and employers in Ohio must meet federal OSHA regulations. Ohio does not have its own state-specific health and safety program. Therefore, all workers should be trained with regulated OSHA courses. 

As far as training your workers, "Outreach" courses are not required by law; however, OSHA recommends that all workers take Outreach training. Outreach training helps workers become familiar with workplace safety best practices.

Many employers require their workers to complete OSHA Outreach safety training before they begin work or within the first few months of employment. The most popular courses that workers take are OSHA 10-Hour for entry-level and 30-Hour for supervisory employees

In addition, the Federal government requires that all employees handling material that is considered hazardous must take 24 or 40-hour HAZWOPER training and a yearly refresher course.
