OSHA 10 vs OSHA 30

OSHA courses provide essential information on the prevention of workplace hazards, but it can be confusing knowing whether your local union workers should take an OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 and if the crafts represented by your local are considered General Industry or Construction. We break down the differences here ↓

OSHA 10 training is an important aspect of helping the IATSE workforce increase their hazard awareness and ability to protect their health and safety while working. The curriculum consists of a variety of modules that cover a range of worker health and safety topics relevant to crafts represented by the IATSE. It is designed with information and tools to build worker capacity to recognize potential hazards and access tools and resources to minimize risks to workers’ health and safety.

OSHA 30 training helps workers with some safety responsibility increase their hazard awareness and ability to protect their fellow workers’ health and safety through more in-depth training. When IATSE supervisors, department heads, keys, and workers with safety responsibility are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights, they can help prevent accidents, injuries, and illnesses on the job. The curriculum consists of a variety of modules that cover a range of worker health and safety topics relevant to crafts represented by the IATSE. The 30-hour course is intended to provide workers with some safety responsibility a greater depth and variety of training than the 10-hour course. It is designed with information and tools to build worker capacity to recognize potential hazards and access tools and resources to minimize risks to workers’ health and safety.
