Course Overview

Each year, more and more employers train their workers with the OSHA Outreach Program for general industry. This 10-hour general industry course is the online version of that successful program and is intended to provide instruction on a variety of general safety and health standards. As an OSHA 10-hour course, you are expected to spend a minimum of 10 hours in the course.

Course topics include: Introduction to OSHA, Walking Working Surfaces, Workplace Fires and Emergencies, Electrical Safety, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Hazard Communication, Bloodborne Pathogens, Permit-Required Confined Spaces, Lockout/Tagout, and Forklift Safety.

OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job.

New OSHA Policies

• OSHA has issued a new policy that limits all OSHA Outreach Training (classroom and online) to a maximum of 7.5 hours training per day in all OSHA 10-Hour courses. As a result, all 10-Hour courses must be delivered over a minimum of two days.
• OSHA has also issued a new policy of Program Jurisdiction Restrictions. Outreach Training Programs are now limited to OSHA Jurisdiction only. Student course completion cards can only be issued for students within U.S. jurisdiction (the 50 States and certain U.S. Territories).
