Which OSHA Training is Best for Leadership Roles?

Introduction

Stepping into a leadership role such as a supervisor, manager, foreman, or safety coordinator requires a clear understanding of workplace hazards, safety standards, and team responsibilities. OSHA offers two main 30-hour training programs designed to help leaders build the safety knowledge necessary to guide workers and meet regulatory requirements. These programs include the OSHA 30-Hour Construction and OSHA 30-Hour General Industry training.

This training equips leaders with the knowledge to maintain compliance and worker protection in daily operations, helping them identify and address unsafe conditions.

Choosing the Right OSHA 30 Course

To select the right course:

• Choose OSHA 30-Hour Construction if the role involves work at construction sites or tasks covered by OSHA’s construction standards (29 CFR 1926).
• Choose OSHA 30-Hour General Industry for leadership roles in factories, warehouses, hospitals, or facilities that follow general industry regulations (29 CFR 1910).
