About the OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Course

Who sets the standard?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Labor. Established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, OSHA writes and enforces safety regulations that protect workers across nearly every private-sector industry in the United States.

OSHA’s General Industry standards — found in 29 CFR Part 1910 — cover everything from hazard communication and personal protective equipment to machine guarding, electrical safety, and emergency action planning.

Why complete this training?

Employers in industries ranging from food production to logistics frequently require the 30-hour card as proof of safety awareness for supervisory roles. Some states and municipalities incorporate it into contractor prequalification requirements.

Beyond compliance, the training builds practical skills: recognizing hazards before incidents occur, understanding workers’ rights and employer obligations, and knowing how to respond when something goes wrong on the job.
