Has anyone here taken the OSHA 30 or 40 hour safety courses? I just figured out recently that I can take the courses for free through my school and I am definitely going to take them because its a great opportunity. I wish I knew sooner. I've just heard they're terrible to sit through.

 

What should I expect?

I've done the OSHA 30 hour class and it's pretty miserable. Ladder angles, extension cord safety, and oxygen levels are all topics you'll enjoy over your 30 hours of torture

Bring a pillow. I've done the OSHA 30

Damn 30 hours...holy crap... I just did a safety meeting with ADP and that was only 6 hours and I wanted to get a bucket of red bull and do a few lines just to stay awake. Good luck to you

I have to do the 10 hour course what seems like every year for work, absolutely miserable. Don't take it unless you are being forced, and paid too.

The osha 30 course I took was 42 hrs, It was torture very boring. However i got two for one I also got a refinery card .

Which reg? I can probably get you a deal on CFR 1910.120 if that is what this is about. And, Yes, you can carry.

Go on clicksafety.com just finished mine and it runs about 4 hrs over the 30. the nice thing is your doing it at home not in a classroom, and this company issues dept of labor cards. Good luck

Boring classes

If you take it, make sure your firearms, belt and shoelaces are not withing easy reach.

Which OSHA reg or federal statute are we discussing with respect to training?

I had an opportunity to take the class for free and I decided to pay for the clicksafety course instead. After doing the 10 hour in a classroom I decided clicksaftey is the only way to keep my sanity. Definitely the way to go if you need it.

it's painful

If it is Construction it is CFR 1926. Code of Federal Regulations - SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION

 

Workers in New York City that work on public work projects of $250,000 or more need to complete a 10 hour construction safety training course.

 

Remember that the construction money is in NYC

 

If you become a supervisor our a manager you will need your OSHA 30 Hour

 

If they pay for it get it since it will cost you $600 later

I probably shouldn't admit to this, but my brother and I used to take them for people for $10 an hour, though those were the 10 hour courses.

 

They weren't too bad IIRC, they basically have a few slides where you learn about some stupid stuff, then after each "chapter" you take a quiz, with a minimum score you need to get correct. I think you had 3 chances to pass the quiz, if you failed you could go through the chapter again, and retake the quiz.

 

The answers don't change, just the order in which they appear, and I believe it shows you the correct answers, so we just would mark down any that were not common sense, and we'd pass them pretty quick.

 

If it actually takes you the full 30 hours, you're doing it wrong. Half of it is just common sense.

my courses were done in person... I was stuck there for probably 24 hours over 3 Saturdays. One of which happened to be my birthday. Yea I was pretty happy about that

The ones I did were online.

 

It was pretty good money for a 13 year old. I had saved half of that for when I turned 21, Initially I had hoped to buy a Luger when I turned 21.

 

Brother stole all that money though, had about $500 saved when he found it...

Bring toothpicks and major coffee. Hoisting and rigging was good.

Hey at least you were entrepreneurial about it. Can't blame you haha

To be honest, I am not sure if I would be taking OSHA courses for 1910 (Gen Industry) or 1926 (Construction). I don't know a ton about OSHA regs as I'm just learning about them (at my school, not through OSHA) now.

 

Reason why I am taking them now, is because they are being offered to me for free over the summer. I imagine it would make me look more desirable on a resume if I have it already, and its good to have. After the 40 hour I would be eligible to train people.

 

Whats this about carrying guns? Unless I get an AZ CCW and take OSHA courses in PA.

B-O-R-I-N-G. Roughly equivalent to sitting thru 10 Introduction meetings at CJRPC

At least you get some trigger time at the CJ intro meeting!

Just throwing this out there, if it's online, and your time is more valuable than your money.....

Yeah, I do my 1910.120 in PA. That's what I meant.

There are a zillion different types of courses you could take under either, not two.

 

Does anybody here know what course they are taking?  Everybody is talking about it like it's something common but nobody has said which standard it is for.  I'm still curious what this is all about.  It should be listed on your cert.
