30-Hour Fed/OSHA General Industry Training

This Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 30-Hour General Industry Training is facilitated by our team of experienced Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainers. Our certification curriculum focuses on the hazards commonly found specifically within the cannabis industry (not OSHA standards). All workers in the cannabis industry – who cultivate, manufacture, distribute, test products, etc. – must protect themselves from hazards found in the workplace.

Most industries fall under OSHA jurisdiction, and all cannabis industry businesses must comply with regulations and recordkeeping requirements. In addition to the OSHA regulations, cannabis businesses are required to comply with all of those other regulations that are specific to employment and any commercial cannabis production. Fed/OSHA 30-Hour General Industry training is intended to help assist cannabis operations with creating occupational safety and health programs.

Our certification introduces policies, procedures, and standards that guide safety and health principles commonly implemented in the cannabis industry. While the foundation of this training includes existing OSHA regulations, it should be noted that cannabis compliance requirements are ever-evolving so it’s possible new safety topics are not covered. Topics include industrial hygiene, body ergonomics, walking and working surfaces, fall protection, hazard communication, electrical safety, emergency action plans, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

A United States Department of Labor (DOL) Card – commonly referred to as an “OSHA Card” or “OSHA Completion Card” – will be physically mailed upon learner completion of this training. It is the official DOL card that is issued to learners who have completed an authorized 30-Hour OSHA General Industry Training. Anyone who completes the training, learners will earn the “OSHA Completion Card” and three (3) Continuing Education Unit (CEU) verifiable certificates and a digital badge.

The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) is internationally recognized and established the measurement for non-credit continuing education activities. The IACET has defined that three (3) CEUs equals thirty (30) hours of training “contact time” that is required for all enrolled learners. For example, the OSHA 30-hour equivalency course counts as continuing education units (CEUs). This course is accepted for 5.01 Industrial Hygiene CM Points by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) and 3 Continuance of Certification (COC) points from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP).
