"The OSHA 10-hour General Industry training program is intended to provide entry-level workers information about their rights, responsibilities, and how to file a complaint, as well as how to identify and avoid job related hazards. The training covers a variety of hazards which an employee may encounter."

The OSHA 10 course is ten hours long (psst...that's how they got the name!).

Due to the length of the material, OSHA does not allow this class to be conducted in one session. It must be two sessions, at a minimum. Each session must be at least 30 minutes in length, but overall, the course can be split up in any way that makes sense for your workplace. For example, you could do 5 hours on Tuesday and then 5 hours on Wednesday. OR, you could do 5 hours on Monday and then 5 hours the next Monday. OR you could do 2 hours each day Mon-Fri. It's up to you - and Certified Safety can make it happen! Even night shifts and weekends!
