Washington OSHA 10-Hour Training 
for General Industry

This course package is designed for entry-level workers employed in general industry. That is a blanket term that includes everything from manufacturing and warehousing to hospitality, medical services and education.

The bundle contains a course for Washington-specific workplace regulations and a separate OSHA-authorized Outreach program that teaches federal safety standards.

Washington operates an OSHA-Approved State Plan that applies to almost every workplace in the Evergreen State. These state-specific guidelines go above and beyond the national worker protections established by OSHA.

Most of these state rules are found in the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) and other state laws that build on the guidance of OSHA's 29 CFR 1910 standard for general industry.

All Washington employees should understand the regulations that govern their jobs and protect their rights.

This training package includes 17 total lesson modules split across two courses — one for WA L&I topics and one for federal OSHA guidelines.

Upon completion of Washington OSHA training, you'll be prepared to:

• Summarize the history of the federal OSH Act and the WISH Act.
• Identify the basic components of an Accident Prevention Program according to WISHA.
• Determine whether your organization must hold regular workplace safety meetings or establish a formal safety committee.
• List the basic requirements for employers in the State of Washington to provide fall protection for their workers.
• Explain WISHA's basic requirements for workers entering confined spaces.
• Describe WISHA's basic requirements for safe crane operations.
• Identify WISHA's basic requirements for protecting employees from outdoor heat exposure and wildfire smoke.
• Explain WISHA's basic requirements for employers in the agriculture industry to protect their workers from chemical hazards and livestock hazards.

The included federal Outreach Training curriculum also covers:

• Introduction to OSHA
• Walking and Working Surfaces
• Exit Routes, Emergency Action Plans and Fire Prevention
• Electrical
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Hazard Communication
• Material Handling
• Machine Guarding
• Bloodborne Pathogens

This course includes eight modules on Washington safety and health requirements. You can find a full overview of each module below.

To earn your WA OSHA certificate and your DOL-issued OSHA 10 card, you must pass end-of-module quizzes after each lesson plus a final exam. Quizzes will test your knowledge of Washington's state-specific safety laws and OSHA standards. The final exam covers the topics explored in the national Outreach course.

Washington OSHA Testing

This course includes eight end-of-module quizzes. Each assessment is based on Washington worker safety laws. The quizzes consist of five questions.

You must score at least 70% to pass, and you have up to three attempts for each quiz. If you fail any quiz three times, you must start over by purchasing the course again.

OSHA Outreach Testing

OSHA 10 General Industry Outreach Training features nine additional end-of-module quizzes and a separate final exam on federal OSHA topics. Just like the Washington-specific content, you have three chances to pass each quiz and the final exam with a score of at least 70%.

Failing any quiz or the exam three times in a row will lock you out of the course. If that happens, you must purchase the course again to restart your training.
