OSHA 30-hour training comes in construction and general industry variants. Built for supervisors, it has a uniform framework and dives into core safety topics applicable to either industry to promote safer workplaces. Here's what it covers:
OSHA Basics and Your Rights
Understand the protections that lie with workers and the responsibilities that sit with the employer. Employees will learn how to recognize, raise, and address safety concerns.
Most Common Hazards
Review a range of hazards that a crew runs into. Construction courses reach past the Focus Four into risks like cranes, stairways, ladders, and lockout/tagout. General industry courses cover their own settings, including walking and working surfaces, electrical safety and ergonomics.

Hear From Our Trainees
"We called upon Lancaster safety to conduct OSHA 30 hour for some of our supervisors. Andrew and his team were very responsive and accommodating to help schedule a training around our schedule. The trainer Marvin did a fantastic job as well. The class consisted of 10+ year experienced foreman who said "it was the most engaging safety course I've taken". I would highly recommend Lancaster and Marvin for any safety training needs and our company will definitely use their services again!"

Review: Why Provide OSHA Outreach 10 & 30 Hour Training?
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Federal OSHA does not required employees to obtain their 10- or 30-hour OSHA outreach card. These courses provide basic safety and health information and education, and while they do not meet OSHA's annual training requirements plenty of employers rely on it as a foundation to theireir training framework.
No. Federal OSHA 30-hour outreach cards do not expire or need to be renewed. Some states or contractors requiring outreach courses may have an expiration date. Regardless of renewal requirements, it is possible to retake the course if your employees or supervisors need a refresher.
The 10-hour course is a safety introduction for entry-level workers. The 30-hour course is built for supervisors and anyone with safety responsibility. The course goes more in-depth on safety hazards and how to manage them as well as promote safety day to day. If you're choosing between them for your team, we can point you to the right fit.
Both courses run for 30 classroom training hours (additional time is needed for mandated breaks). They cover the same OSHA foundation, but the hazard topics differ. The construction course focuses on risks found on job sites, while the general industry course covers hazards common to manufacturing, warehousing and similar settings. We'll help you pick the right one for your team's work.
Not in the formal sense. When employees complete an outreach course, they will receive a course completion card from the issuing Outreach Training Institute. Outreach courses provide basic safety and health information and education but do not meet OSHA's annual training requirements. Additional classroom and hands-on training is necessary.
We offer OSHA 30-hour training courses onsite at your workplace and through live remote sessions led by an instructor. Tell us your location and number of employees and we'll recommend the format that works best for your team.
No. OSHA 30-hour training builds broad, supervisor-level safety knowledge, but it doesn't replace the task-specific or standard-specific training OSHA requires for certain jobs and equipment. Think of it as a strong foundation that sits alongside that training.

Training is just the start of a complete health and safety program. If your team needs safety procedures and ongoing compliance support, we also offer full service partnerships where we help your business to build a safety culture.
