OSHA requires at least 10 hours of direct instruction for online OSHA Outreach courses. This 10-hour requirement does not include time spent on quizzes, tests, or the final exam. This means the course may take longer than 10 hours, depending on your individual pace. OSHA also enforces daily limits on course progress, which can extend the overall time needed to finish the program.
OSHA Policies to Note
- OSHA limits all OSHA Outreach Training to a maximum of 7.5 hours training per day in all OSHA 10-Hour courses. As a result, all 10-Hour courses must be delivered over a minimum of two days.
- OSHA also defines Program Jurisdiction Restrictions. Outreach Training Programs are limited to OSHA Jurisdiction only. Student course completion cards can only be issued for students within U.S. jurisdiction (the 50 States and certain U.S. Territories).
- You must complete this training within 180 days.
There is no set expiration date for your DOL card. However, because OSHA rules change frequently, it’s a good idea to update your training every 3 to 4 years.
Keep in mind that some states or employers may have different rules. For example, New York and Nevada require you to retake the course every five years. Always check with your employer or state for any extra requirements.
