When you complete an OSHA Outreach course like OSHA 10 or OSHA 30, your OSHA-authorized training provider sends you a durable plastic wallet card that provides proof that you’ve completed the course.
These are often referred to as either OSHA cards or DOL cards because they’re issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) .
OSHA cards or DOL cards are divided up by level and industry.
These cards are issued in four different “industries”:
Each industry has two levels of training – a 10-hour course and a 30-hour course in all cases except Disaster Worker.
OSHA 10 , as the shorter course is typically called, is targeted at non-supervisory workers, while OSHA 30 is intended for anyone with supervisory responsibilities. The 30-hour course includes everything from the 10-hour course, adds topics on safety from a systematic and managerial perspective, and includes more specialized safety topics.
OSHA itself has no requirement for possessing a DOL card or even taking an OSHA Outreach course. The federal government considers them optional.
However, some employers, states, or local jurisdictions do have OSHA card requirements.
OSHA Outreach training is used as a national benchmark for the basics of occupational safety and health training. It provides an industry-specific primer on the most necessary safety topics. OSHA sets the parameters for the curriculum, composed of mandatory, elective, and optional topics, as well as training and authorizing the third-party training providers to deliver the training.
As a result, when a city, state, or employer wants to set a minimum standard for initial workplace training, they often use an OSHA card to do so.
Since construction is such a high-risk industry, those cards are the most commonly required.
State or local laws mandate OSHA Construction cards under certain circumstances.
In many places, they're required to bid on or retain a public works contract over a certain size or value. is the case in:
A few jurisdictions require DOL cards for construction workers more broadly. This includes:
Each jurisdiction has its own expiration/renewal period.
This shouldn’t be considered a comprehensive list since new requirements are being added all the time.
Additionally, your employer may require a DOL card even if your jurisdiction does not.
Employers in high-risk industries like manufacturing, industry, and warehousing will often require new workers to complete the OSHA 10 General Industry curriculum early in their employment.
Legal requirements for a General Industry card are rare. In fact, so far, they’re only mandatory for two industries in one jurisdiction.
Nevada requires all entertainment industry workers to earn an OSHA 10 or 30 card within 15 days of beginning employment. For cannabis workers, an OSHA 30 General Industry card will be required within the first year.
If you’re required to carry your DOL or OSHA card with you to work, there’s a good chance it will get lost, stolen, or damaged eventually. When that happens, you may need to get a replacement.
If your OSHA card was originally issued within the last five years, you are eligible for a ONE-TIME replacement.
If you’re eligible, you can order your replacement OSHA card through your original training provider. Typically, their website will have instructions for how to order one.
Individuals are only eligible for one replacement card. Be sure to double-check that the quantity in the cart is “1” before checkout to avoid overpaying.
