This OSHA 10 Hour General Industry Online course is intended to provide general industry workers without supervisory responsibility with information about their rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint with OSHA, as well as how to identify, abate, avoid, and prevent job related hazards on a job site.
This course covers a variety of general industry safety and health hazards that a worker may encounter. The training emphasizes hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, rather than OSHA standards.
Through this training, OSHA helps to ensure that workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and contribute to our nation's productivity.
This training is offered through an affiliation with AdvanceOnline Solutions, Inc., who is an OSHA-Authorized Online Outreach Training Provider for this course.
Because this course is regulated closely by OSHA and offered through this affiliation, there are differences in how it is delivered when compared to most of the other online courses we offer. Learn more in the About section.
OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. When required by OSHA standards, workers must receive additional training on the specific hazards of the job.
The format of this course is quite different from other Safety Unlimited courses and can be learned by viewing the Quick Start Tutorial on the first page of each content lesson. The tutorial is not required, but highly recommended.
OSHA has issued a new policy that limits all OSHA Outreach Training (classroom and online) to a maximum of 7.5 hours of 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 to students within U.S. jurisdiction (the 50 States and certain U.S. Territories).
OSHA requires students to pass each section exam and the final exam with a minimum of a 70% score. If a student fails any exam three times, the course will be placed in failed status and the student will be informed of his or her option to retake the course either online or in the classroom.
Students have 180 days to complete the training from the time they enroll in the course. When a course EXPIRES, the student will no longer have access to the course and any course progress will be lost. There can be no extensions for the OSHA Outreach titles.
Safety Unlimited will provide much of the customer support with regard to access to your account and billing, but course content questions and technical support may be referred to AdvanceOnline Solutions.
