OSHA-10 General Industry Course Outline

Worker rights, employer responsibilities, inspections, reporting channels, and how the general-industry standards apply across offices, warehouses, labs, facilities, and production areas.

Housekeeping, aisles, floors, platforms, ladders, and fall hazards—plus the worker checks that keep common routes clear and usable.

Exit-route design, alarm response, evacuation, accountability, reporting, and the employee actions covered by an emergency action plan.

Recognizing exposed parts, damaged cords, improper use, and approach hazards; understanding when only qualified persons may perform electrical work.

Labels, pictograms, Safety Data Sheets, chemical inventories, written HazCom programs, and the employee right to understand chemical hazards before assignment.

Hazard assessment, PPE selection and limits, inspection, care, fit, and the training needed before using head, eye, face, hand, foot, or respiratory protection.

Exposure recognition, universal precautions, housekeeping, sharps and contaminated materials, post-exposure response, and the limits of awareness training.

A practical walk-through of machine, stored-energy, ergonomic, confined-space, fire, and workplace-violence exposures, with escalation and stop-work expectations.

Supervisor duties, worker participation, inspections, reporting, citation follow-through, and how leaders turn 29 CFR 1910 requirements into daily operating expectations.

Job hazard analysis, task observation, energy and exposure identification, risk ranking, control selection, and documenting corrective actions before work begins.

Supervisor inspections for floors, aisles, ladders, platforms, dock areas, and elevated work, including correction ownership and verification of closure.

Emergency action and fire prevention plan elements, alarm and evacuation roles, severe-weather and medical response, drills, accountability, and plan review.

Electrical work boundaries, qualified-person coordination, lockout/tagout program management, verification, group energy control, and periodic inspection duties.

Written HazCom program ownership, SDS and labeling audits, chemical approval, exposure communication, and the supervisor handoff to process-safety controls where applicable.

Program roles, exposure assessment, fit and medical-evaluation coordination, PPE training records, exposure-control plans, and post-exposure response.

Point-of-operation and mechanical hazards, guard verification, permit-required confined spaces, respiratory protection, and the supervisor’s role in specialized programs.

Immediate response, evidence preservation, causal analysis, witness interviews, corrective-action design, near-miss learning, and communicating findings without assigning blame.

OSHA 300 logs, 301 incident reports, 300A posting, training and exposure records, retention, audit cadence, management review, and continuous-improvement ownership.

A guided site review that connects hazard assessment, emergency readiness, controls, incident learning, and recordkeeping into a prioritized supervisor action plan.
