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 30 card expire?
Your North Carolina certification and OSHA 30 card will never expire. 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.
How long will it take to complete the course?
This course contains 30 hours of federal OSHA Outreach Training and three hours of North Carolina-specific training, so the program will take at least 33 hours to complete.
OSHA has mandated that students can spend no more than 7.5 hours per day in OSHA Outreach training. This means that you will spend at least four days completing the federal OSHA portion of your training. North Carolina-specific OSHA training does not count toward the 7.5 hours daily limit.
What is an OSHA 30 DOL card?
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issues OSHA 30 cards to workers who complete 30 hours of OSHA Outreach training on industry-specific workplace safety topics.
The OSHA 30 card is wallet-sized and printed on durable plastic. You can present your card nationwide as proof of training.
Does this card act as proof of OSHA 30 certification for construction?
This 30-hour Outreach Training course provides a DOL-issued training card. But OSHA doesn't certify individuals or approve training. There is technically no such thing as OSHA certification. But your employer may say you are OSHA certified if you hold an official DOL card.
When will I receive my North Carolina OSHA certificate and OSHA 30 DOL Card?
Once you have successfully completed North Carolina OSHA training, your certificate of completion and OSHA Outreach certificate will be available for instant download. Your official plastic OSHA 30 DOL card will be mailed to you and will arrive within two weeks of completing the course.
