Why Do I Need OSHA 10 General Industry Equivalent Safety Training?
OSHA doesn’t have any specific standards requiring employees to take an OSHA 10-hour course. However, certain states do have laws requiring employees to obtain an OSHA 10-hour training card, as do some companies and unions.
During this training, we will provide you with a general understanding of the safety principles for each topic included in this course. However, while this training provides general awareness of the topics discussed, we do not cover each topic to its full extent.
To be considered certified for the individual topics in this training, you will need to take a full training course for each separate topic.
