The Cal/OSHA portion of the course includes 12 quizzes and a final exam. Each quiz has five questions, and you have an unlimited number of attempts to pass with a score of 80% or higher.
The final exam contains 20 questions. You will have 180 minutes to complete the exam and earn a passing score of 70% or higher. Like the quizzes, you can retake the exam as many times as needed until you pass.
The federal OSHA portion of the course includes nine end-of-module quizzes and a final exam. You have up to three attempts to pass each quiz with a score of 70% or higher.
If you do not pass any given quiz in three tries, you will be locked out of the course and will need to contact our support team to resume your training.

Cal/OSHA, also known as the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), protects California workers by setting and enforcing workplace safety and health standards. In many areas, Cal/OSHA standards are stricter than federal OSHA standards.
Cal/OSHA standards, found in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, apply to nearly every worker in the state, including local and state government workers.
California construction employers must comply with a number of standards found in the following Cal/OSHA subchapters: Construction Safety Orders, Electrical Safety Orders and General Industry Safety Orders. You can find a full list of these standards on Cal/OSHA's website.
To satisfy Cal/OSHA training requirements, entry-level construction workers need to complete a 10-hour OSHA Outreach course with three hours of supplementary training on Cal/OSHA regulations.
Due to federal OSHA rules, you can spend no more than 7.5 hours per day in OSHA Outreach training. That means it will take a minimum of two days to complete your training. Time spent on Cal/OSHA training does not count toward the 7.5-hour daily limit.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issues OSHA 10 cards to workers who complete 10 hours of OSHA Outreach training on industry-specific workplace safety topics. This wallet-sized card is printed on durable plastic and is accepted nationwide as proof of training.
An increasing number of employers in the construction industry are requiring entry-level workers to earn an OSHA 10 card before starting work. Supervisors and workers with certain safety responsibilities are often required to complete 30 hours of Outreach training in order to earn an OSHA 30 card.
Upon successful completion of Cal/OSHA 10-Hour Training for Construction, you can instantly download and print your Cal/OSHA certification and OSHA Outreach training certificate. The U.S. Department of Labor will deliver your OSHA 10 card by mail six to eight weeks after course completion.
Your Cal/OSHA certification and OSHA card will not expire. However, employers may require you to complete refresher training periodically, such as every three to five years, to ensure you're up to date on workplace safety and health protocols. For more information about refresher training requirements, speak to your employer.
