What Are the Benefits of an OSHA 10 Card?
Acquiring an OSHA 10 DOL card proves to employers that you have completed 10 hours of OSHA-authorized training on critical workplace safety topics. Entry-level workers with this credential have industry-specific knowledge and skills that help prevent injuries and keep workplaces safe and productive.
What Is OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training?
If you’re an entry-level worker, our OSHA 10-Hour Outreach General & Healthcare Industry course is your orientation to occupational safety and health. As part of OSHA's Outreach Training program to raise awareness about the safety measures under OSHA 29 CFR 1910, this course will help teach you how to improve workplace safety.
You’ll learn OSHA's best practices for reducing accidents and injuries, including fall protection, emergency evacuation plans, and the use of personal protective equipment.
You'll also learn about the major hazards you might encounter in general industry work and solutions for recognizing, controlling, and protecting against them. This includes flammable and combustible substances, chemical and electrical hazards, and fire prevention.
Additionally, you should know what your employer's responsibility is for your safety, as well as the rights OSHA grants you as a worker. That’s why you'll learn how to file a complaint if your workplace isn't living up to its safety obligations.
