What is the difference between OSHA 10 hour course and OSHA 30 hour training course?
The OSHA 10/30 Outreach Training Program is Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) primary way to train workers in the basics of occupational safety and health. The 10/30 Hour training requirement by OSHA for workers is applicable to both the General Industry and Construction Industry.
The OSHA 10 course covers the OSHA regulations and standards in 29 cfr 1926. The course is perfect for those that want to improve jobsite safety and learn OSHA requirements for safety in construction, while taking the class at their own pace, online. The course is available for workers in both the general as well as the construction industry. Topics included in the course are fire protection, personal protective equipment (PPE), egress, electrical safety, etc. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive an OSHA 10-Hour Construction Outreach DOL course completion card.
The OSHA 30 Hour Course is a advanced safety training course that gives workers and employees a more in depth look into the hazards and injuries that could be faced at worksites and the prevention methods to be used. The OSHA 30 Hour course is specifically devised for safety directors, foremen, and field supervisors; the program provides complete information on OSHA trainings as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers compliance issues. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an OSHA 30 Hour Construction Outreach DOL course completion card.
In summary the key differences between the courses is duration and the depth of the study in each course. While the OSHA 10 hour is aimed at the workers, the OSHA 30 hour course is aimed at supervisors and safety directors.

Comparison of top 10 OSHA violations over three years
The following is a list of the top 10 most frequently cited standards following inspections of worksites by federal OSHA.

Far too many preventable injuries and illnesses occur in the workplace.
Comparing the list for the last three years shows that the top 10 violations have been pretty consistent in terms of the standards being violated. Construction safety is extremely important for all organizations. How do you ensure that your organization is not in violation of the above standards?

HAZWOPER “Certifications” – Special Packages for the Annual Refresher
Annual Refresher Packages – Introduction
Workers that took the OSHA HAZWOPER 40 hour course 12 months ago need to take an annual refresher. The annual refresher is an OSHA requirement that is 8 hours in length. The annual refresher needs to be finished to keep your 40 hour certification current. The term certification is not technically correct, according to OSHA guidelines, but it is the term most people are familiar with.
We are offering 2 special packages to help workers get their refresher as easily and quickly as possible and to get additional OSHA training at the same time. You may take the 8 hour course with any provider; it does not need to be the same one that taught the 40 hour class.
Special Packages
We have developed some special packages to help people get their annual refresher and additional safety training that they may need on the job.
Our most popular package is the 8 hour HAZWOPER refresher and the OSHA 10 Hour course for General Industry for $119. You save $39 from the regular price of these 2 courses individually. To see specifics on the course, or order this package, click this link: HAZWOPER refresher and OSHA 10 for General Industry. Read More
