OSHA 10-Hour General Industry Training
Ten-hour general industry safety training for entry-level workers in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, built on 29 CFR 1910.
What to Expect
The general industry 10-hour course covers the hazards found in manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centres and similar workplaces. Where the construction course centres on the Focus Four, the general industry course spends its time on machine guarding, electrical safety, hazard communication, walking and working surfaces, and the other 29 CFR 1910 subparts that shape day-to-day work on a plant floor. It is aimed at workers rather than supervisors.

Different hazards to a construction site
A plant floor and a job site fail in different ways. General industry training concentrates on fixed equipment, machine guarding, powered industrial trucks, permit-required confined spaces and chemical exposure, because those are the hazards that put people in the hospital in a manufacturing or warehouse setting. Choosing the general industry course over the construction one matters: the subparts, the terminology and the examples are all different.
Matched to your operation
We deliver the course at your facility wherever we can, and use the equipment, chemicals and processes your people work with as the worked examples. Workers retain a machine guarding discussion far better when it is about the press they run rather than a stock photograph.
