This course package is ideal for supervisors and safety personnel employed in general industry — which includes most workplaces not classified as construction, agriculture or maritime.

Washington operates an OSHA-Approved State Plan that layers additional protections on top of the federal minimums established by OSHA.
The Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) is the basis of the State Plan. It meets or exceeds the requirements found in the 29 CFR 1910 standard for general industry.
This training package includes 25 total lesson modules included in two training courses — one for Washington workplace regulations and one for national OSHA standards.

To earn both certificates, you must pass a total of 25 quizzes and a final exam. Quizzes are divided between Washington state laws and federal safety guidelines. After passing all assessments, you will earn a WA L&I training certificate and a DOL-issued OSHA 30 card.
The eight state-specific lessons each end with a quiz. Quizzes consist of five questions. You must score at least 70% on all quizzes. You get three chances to pass each one.
Each of the 17 federal training modules ends with a brief quiz, which you must pass with a score of at least 70% before moving on to the next lesson. You have three chances to pass each one.
After finishing all 30 hours of instruction, you must also earn a score of at least 70% on a 20-question final exam. Failing three times in a row will lock you out of the course and require you to purchase the course again and start over.
OSHA standards apply nationwide, while L&I guidelines apply only to employers and workers in Washington State.
The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries is a state-run organization designed to safeguard Washingtonians on the job. Administering the OSHA-approved Washington State Plan is one of the agency's many duties.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is charged with creating and enforcing national workplace safety standards. OSHA's rules establish the baseline for all U.S. states and territories.
Federal regulations apply to any situation not spelled out in WISHA or other Washington-specific workplace laws.
Neither credential has an expiration date. However, it is best practice to repeat your training at least once every three years to refresh your knowledge and keep up with changing standards.
Your employer may have its own retraining policies. Contact your supervisor to learn more about safety training requirements for your role.
Completing both courses will take you about 33 hours. The Washington-specific content about WISHA and L&I regulations lasts approximately three hours. The remaining 30 hours of coursework teach federal workplace safety standards.
OSHA sets a maximum of 7.5 hours of Outreach lessons per day. Since the OSHA-authorized Outreach course is 30 hours long, you must spend a minimum of four calendar days on your training. You are free to split your study into as many sessions as you like and train at your own pace.
Official OSHA 30 DOL cards are only issued to students who complete 30 hours of OSHA-authorized safety education following rigorous U.S. Department of Labor curriculum guidelines. Cards are accepted nationwide as proof of satisfactory safety training.
Each wallet-sized card is printed on durable plastic and includes the student's name, the date the card was issued and the name of the training provider.
If you are not a manager or safety professional, you should enroll in the shorter WA State Plan course instead.
You don't have to wait! You can immediately download and print digital copies of your Washington OSHA Certificate of Completion and your OSHA Outreach 30-hour certificate as soon as you finish all lessons and pass all assessments.
The DOL will issue your official plastic OSHA 30 wallet card. It will arrive by mail in less than two weeks.
