This course provides 10 hours + of instruction on the basic skills needed to manage a safety program for your company. This course intends to give an overview of the hazards a worker may encounter on a job site while emphasizing hazard identification, avoidance, control, and injury and illness prevention. This class is for all levels at your organization, from entry-level workers to managers and supervisors.
Cal/OSHA General Industry 10-Hour Card
While you are learning safety management techniques and what is required of an employer to comply with regulations specific to California, this program is also designed to obtain your Cal/OSHA GENERAL INDUSTRY 10-HOUR CARD. Many California employers are now implementing this in their hiring processes. A 10-hour Cal/OSHA card may be a condition of employment at your facility or organization.
*Participants must attend all sessions and pass a written exam to receive a certificate and a Cal/OSHA General Industry 10-Hour card.*
Now more than ever, employers require employees, managers, and supervisors to receive the appropriate training to ensure further hazard recognition, compliance, and knowledge of all safety and health aspects affecting their daily work activities. It is typical for many California employers to require employees to obtain an OSHA card as a condition of employment.
Our In-Person General Industry Cal/OSHA Card course allows participants to ask for clarifications and questions instead of a pre-recorded class.
