What is covered in the OSHA 10- and 30-hour outreach courses?

The 10-hour outreach course is primarily intended for entry level workers. It provides basic awareness training on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of workplace hazards. It also covers information regarding workers’ rights, employer responsibilities, and filing a complaint with OSHA.

The 30-hour outreach course provides a greater depth and variety of training on an expanded list of topics associated with workplace hazards in each industry (i.e., general industry, construction, maritime, or disaster site worker). OSHA provides authorized trainers with procedures for each industry program on the topic outlines for each industry. The 30-hour course is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility.
