Overview & Objectives
It is of the utmost importance that all General Industry workers and supervisors be aware of the latest safety standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Because of this, it is imperative to accomplish continuing education units (CEUs) in a timely manner. Designed to allow you to accomplish both, the Exceed Safety OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course is an online version of OSHA’s Outreach Training Program and covers what you need to know to stay safe on the job. Upon completion, all course participants will receive a certificate of completion right away and earn their Department of Labor (DOL)/OSHA 10-Hour Card shipped within two weeks, allowing them to seek or maintain employment.
NOTICE: This course uses voice authentication. VA courses were developed in conjunction with the NYC Department of Buildings (NYC DOB) to address LL196 online course proctoring requirements. These voice-authenticated courses represent a best practice to ensure the identity of the student by prompting users to verify their voice at random intervals throughout the course. Users must have access to a mobile phone or landline while taking the course to successfully meet this requirement.
