OSHA General Industry safety training classroom

OSHA Authorized Training

OSHA General Industry Training

OSHA-authorized 10-Hour and 30-Hour General Industry courses for workers, supervisors, and safety personnel. Serving Pennsylvania and all 50 states — on-site group training available.

OSHA 10-Hour vs. 30-Hour: What's the Difference?

Both courses are part of OSHA's Outreach Training Program and result in an official OSHA completion card. The key difference is depth and audience.

The OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course is designed for workers — it provides foundational awareness of workplace hazards, OSHA standards, and employee rights. It's the most widely required card for general industry employment and contract work.

The OSHA 30-Hour General Industry course is designed for supervisors, foremen, and safety professionals. It goes deeper into OSHA regulations, compliance obligations, recordkeeping, and safety program management. Many employers require the 30-Hour for anyone in a supervisory role.

Both courses cover General Industry — manufacturing, warehousing, utilities, healthcare, food processing, and similar workplaces. If your work is in construction, you need the Construction track instead (we offer that too — see our full training programs).
