OSHA 30-Hour General Industry Training
Thirty-hour general industry training for supervisors and safety leads, covering hazard control and employer duties under 29 CFR 1910.
What to Expect
The 30-hour general industry course is written for supervisors, plant managers and safety committee members — anyone whose job includes keeping other people safe. It covers the same 29 CFR 1910 subparts as the 10-hour course but adds the depth a supervisor needs: written programs, exposure limits, inspection routines, permit systems, and the employer obligations that sit behind each standard.

The programs behind the standards
Most general industry standards require the employer to have something written down — a lockout/tagout program with machine-specific procedures, a hazard communication program, a permit-required confined space program, a respiratory protection program with fit testing. The 30-hour course works through what each of those documents has to contain and who is responsible for keeping them current, which is the part supervisors are usually expected to know and rarely get taught.
Recognising an exposure problem
Permissible exposure limits, action levels and the monitoring that establishes them are a recurring blind spot. The course covers how exposure limits work for noise, air contaminants and substance-specific standards such as respirable crystalline silica, so a supervisor can recognise when a job needs monitoring rather than discovering it during an inspection.
