The OSHA 10/30-hour courses are training programs intended to provide
instruction on a variety of general industry safety and health
standards to entry-level participants. The curriculum outlines for
these courses are provided and approved by OSHA.
-
In recent years,
the demand for OSHA training has increased at such a rate that the
OSHA Training Institute has been unable to keep up with the demand.
As a result, OSHA has been authorizing trainers outside of the
agency to teach occupational safety and health standards to private
sector personnel. This effort is aimed at promoting workplace safety
and health in general industry. The OSHA 10/30-hour courses are
among those that these trainers are authorized to conduct.
-
While many OSHA
regulations include specific training requirements for workers,
participation in the 10/30-hour program is voluntary and not
required by any OSHA regulation.
