Target Audience

Supervisors and Managers.

As a student, you have free access to all our training materials, including knowledge checks and course activities. You will receive your completion certificate by the next business day.

The employer does not pay for the course until the first of the month billing cycle in the month after the training was completed. 

When you complete the 30-hour General Industry Safety and Health program, you've completed a recognized certificate program. Our programs are designed to help educate employees, supervisors, and managers in various occupational safety and health topics.

If you are trying to transition into the safety and health field, then our programs will help you build a strong foundation in work-related safety and health. OSHA courses, such as the OSHA 10 and OSHA 30, only discuss rules and regulations. Our programs are designed to help teach supervisors and managers how to create effective safety and health programs within a company. If you are trying to break into the safety and health field, these are essential skills you will need.

Our training also assists students in earning professional certifications. The two most prominent certifying bodies in the safety and health industry are the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) and the Institute of Hazardous Materials Management (IHMM). Both organizations offer certifications that require passing exams. Our courses and programs can help employees prepare for and complete these certification exams. Also, after earning a certification, employees can take our courses to earn recertification points necessary to maintain their credentials.

Once you complete and receive the Certificate for one of our training programs, you can list it on your resume under the category of professional development. Obtaining a safety and health job depends on several factors, such as your education achievements, work experience, and competency in the safety and health field.

Credential Note

All of our training is free to access, but once you complete the training, you will receive an OSHAcademy training record card by the next business day. If you are required to have an OSHA Outreach card associated with the Department of Labor (DOL), please visit the Federal OSHA website.

Our training exceeds the OSHA 30 general outreach training as each course in this program has individual quizzes, knowledge checks, and an open book final exam. This helps to ensure you thoroughly understand the content.

Final Course Exam

After studying the course material and completing the knowledge check activities, students can take the course exam. The course exam is designed to test the student's understanding of the course material. Course exams are composed of multiple choice questions selected from our extensive question bank.
