What Is OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training?
This training provides a comprehensive overview of the OSHA 29 CFR 1910 standards, with a supervisor-level safety focus for general industry.
What Is the Difference Between OSHA 30-Hour Construction and General Industry?
OSHA Outreach 30-Hour Construction courses are specifically designed for construction workers, whereas the General Industry course does not have an industry focus. Much of the information will be similar, but there is more pertinent information for construction workers in the construction-focused course. This General Industry course covers the 1910 standards, which apply to non-specific safety rules.
There are other industry-specific courses that have information that is more useful than the general industry course would provide, including fields like aircraft, mining, and nuclear facilities. But general industry training is a great match for jobs like manufacturing, warehousing, and similar high-risk jobs.
How Long Is Your OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Card Valid For?
OSHA 30-hour cards don’t technically expire, but because of how fast safety rules change, the first training can be obsolete after a period of time, so much so that many employers and even states require regular retraining. The general recommendation for how long that period before retraining becomes necessary is 3-5 years.
How Long Are the Individual Modules on OSHA 30-Hour General Industry?
There are some rules that OSHA sets for the minimum amount of time for various modules, however, instructors have some leeway in deciding to give extra time and focus to particular topics. Generally within the 30-hour general industry course, modules are required to be at least 30 minutes long. Some exceptions include the Managing Safety and Health module, which must include at least 2 hours of instruction, and the Walking and Work Surfaces module, which must be at least one hour long.
What Kinds of Jobs Can You Work with An OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Card?
30-hour General Industry cards are valuable to have in most jobs that don’t have specific regulations in industries such as agriculture, maritime, mining, aircraft, and nuclear. Some roles where a 30-hour general industry card might be necessary include:
-
- Safety officers or coordinators
- Supervisors
- Managers
- Manufacturing plant operators
- Maintenance workers
- Quality control personnel.
Some states have more specific requirements for OSHA cards. For example, Nevada requires workers in the conventions, entertainment, and even the cannabis industries to get a general industry card. 30-hour cards are also generally required in many leadership/supervisory roles while 10-hour cards are typically required for entry-level workers.
How Long Will This Course Take To Complete?
Aside from quizzes and the final exam, course takers are required to spend at least 30 hours in the course as required by OSHA. With time testing as well as additional study time included, it will take beyond 30 hours.

Why is OSHA and Safety Training Important?
Safety training has not always existed. There was a time when workers were not required to wear fall protection, and when protective equipment was few and far between. If there was a training program in place, it was not always practiced or enforced. It wasn’t until 1970, when the Occupational Safety and Health Act was enacted, that law began to require companies to enact policies and procedures aimed at protecting workers. So the question remains, if workers went for so long without strict requirements, why is OSHA safety training important now?
To simplify it, following OSHA Requirements doesn’t just benefit your company, but it also leads to a safer workplace, preventing injury and death.
Before the Act was enforced, there were about 38 worker deaths a day in 1970. Compare that to the approximate 13 per day that occurred in 2011. Injury and illness rates have also noticeably decreased since OSHA. In 1972, the workplace experienced about 10.9 incidents per 100 workers. In 2010, the number had decreased to fewer than 4 per 100. OSHA Requirements have significantly helped to prevent death and injury in the workplace.
Along with these positive benefits, OSHA regulations can also help save your business money. When safety standards are not followed, companies run the risk of affecting their overall profit. Safety training can result in reduced expenses due to injury, such as worker’s claims, insurance costs, and legal fees. It can also prevent the loss of manpower and overall productivity because of injury or on-site investigations. Training employees and following OSHA Requirements can help prevent costly incidents from occurring.
Maintaining a safe work environment increases your productivity, your morale, your reputation, and, overall, the success of your company.
OSHA Requirements are important, and these rules are put in place in order to help you and those around you. alignment with these rules and standards will benefit you, your company, and will increase the safety of everyone around you. Proper safety training could save lives.
