FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is the OSHA 10-hour card a certification?

No — OSHA is clear that no course in the Outreach Training Program (including the 10-hour) is considered a certification. It's a completion card showing you finished the awareness-level training.

Is OSHA 10-hour training required by law?

Not by OSHA itself in most cases, though some states, cities, and individual employers require it as a condition of working on a jobsite.

What's the difference between the 10-hour and 30-hour courses?

The 10-hour is intended for entry-level workers and covers general hazard awareness. The 30-hour is more in-depth and intended for supervisors or workers with safety responsibilities.

Is Cambo affiliated with OSHA?

No. Cambo is an independent study tool, not produced or endorsed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

How long is the OSHA 10-hour card valid?

OSHA doesn't set an expiration date on the card itself, though many employers and job sites require renewal every 5 years as a matter of policy.

What is required in every 10-hour Outreach course?

A minimum 2-hour block on workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint — this is required across every industry version of the course.
