OSHA Authorized 10 & 30 Hour Outreach Training

10 Hour - Two Days     30 Hour - Four Days

If your only goal is to check off a box and obtain OSHA 10 or 30 Hour cards for your employees, and you are not concerned about the quality of the training or whether your employees actually learn anything of value, then I would recommend one of the dirt-cheap online PowerPoint courses. Of course, you will also receive dirt-poor training. You get what you pay for. However, if your goal is to have a well-trained workforce that can identify hazards, stay safe, resolve issues, learn something of value, and contribute to a safer, more efficient, and thus more profitable business, then read on. Good training isn't cheap, and cheap training isn't good.

Contrary to popular belief, OSHA does not certify anyone or anything for any reason. They do, however, authorize certain individuals with the required experience and training to conduct OSHA 10 and 30 hour Outreach training. These are the Authorized Outreach Instructors, and they are the only ones authorized to issue the 10 and 30 hour cards. We can provide authorized instructors for General Industry and Construction.

The 10-hour course is intended for individuals requiring a general knowledge of OSHA standards and is focused on raising safety awareness. For the best return on investment, all employees should have this training. Through the knowledge gained in the OSHA 10 course, the individual will be better prepared to remain safe, reduce the possibility of being injured, and be more efficient.

The 30-hour course is intended for those individuals with some level of supervisory and or safety responsibilities. The OSHA 30 delves deeper into the standards and, like the 10-hour, raises safety awareness but also prepares the participant to implement and manage OSHA compliance and programs.

Having all or a portion of the workforce trained at either level may help organizations achieve an ISO 45001 Occupational Safety and Health certification, and depending on the carrier, may also result in lower insurance premiums, especially workers' comp. For community public safety organizations, Fire, EMS, Police, and Emergency Preparedness, this training may lead to an improved ISO rating for the community, which could result in lower business and homeowners insurance costs.

Another benefit of authorized OSHA training is that most state and federal contracts require that a contractor's employees have their OSHA 10 cards before they can bid on a contract.
