NC OSHA FAQs

What is the difference between North Carolina OSHA and federal OSHA?

OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. At the federal level, OSHA creates standards that ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers across the country.

Some states, such as North Carolina, have created State Plans. These plans are OSHA-approved workplace safety and health programs that the state individually operates. North Carolina OSHA is one of those plans.

Will my North Carolina certificate and OSHA 10 card expire?

Your North Carolina certification and OSHA 10 card will never expire. However, some employers may require you to complete refresher training every few years to ensure you are up to date on workplace safety and health protocols. You should speak to your employer for more information on refresher training requirements.

This course contains 10 hours of federal OSHA Outreach Training and three hours of North Carolina-specific training. The entire training program will take at least 13 hours to complete.
