The 30-hour General Industry Outreach Training Program is intended to provide a variety of training to workers with some safety responsibility. This program is provided in accordance with the OSHA Outreach training requirements and qualified participants will receive an OSHA card documenting the successful completion of the mandatory 30 hours of training. It teaches those with safety & health responsibility about the rights of employees, employer responsibilities, OSHA rights and responsibilities and other topics important to safety & health practitioners.

While the OSHA 30-hour program is voluntary and does not meet training requirements in any OSHA standard, it can assist general industry employer's efforts to meet their safety training goals, and to understand their employee responsibilities.
