Contact EXCEED today to schedule an OSHA 10 hour or 30 hour training class for your employees.
Does OSHA require supervisors to have 10-hour training?
OSHA requires you have a competent person implementing your safety program. A competent person must have knowledge and authority. One way to document the knowledge requirement is to provide OSHA 10-hour training to your supervisors. So, no you are not REQUIRED to do 10-hour training, but it is an effective way to meet the knowledge requirement. In addition, many general contractors now require all of their subcontractors to have someone 10-hour trained.
When do OSHA 10hr and 30hr cards expire?
There is no expiration on a 10 hour or 30 hour card. However, since the OSHA standards change regularly, and because you tend to forget what you learned over time, it is a good idea to re-train every two to three years.
