The OSHA 30 hour training course for general industry is based on the federal OSHA 1910 general industry regulations, and each student at an on-site OSHA 30-hour class will receive their own copy of the OSHA general industry standards as part of their 30-hour course materials. We also address state-specific OSHA requirements, where applicable, during your OSHA 30-hour class. This OSHA 30 general industry training course is intended for operations such as factories and most other manufacturing sites, healthcare providers, warehousing and logistics operations, oil and gas production and refinery sites, and service industries.

The OSHA 30 hour training course in general industry standards was created by OSHA, who authorizes certain OSHA Outreach trainers to conduct this 30-hour training class for a group of trainees. The OSHA 30 general industry training course is presented in a classroom setting (usually spread over four consecutive days), or individual trainees can take our online version of the OSHA 30 hour general industry training course (online trainees get same exact OSHA card as those completing the on site class).
