Do You Need to Take the OSHA 30-Hour Equivalent Training Course?



The OSHA 30-Hour equivalency training course is recommended for any construction employee with supervisory or safety-related responsibilities. This may include (but is not limited to): boilermakers, carpenters, carpet layers, electricians, elevator mechanics, heavy equipment operators, insulation installers, masons and stonemasons, plumbers, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, tile workers, truck drivers, teamsters, and welders.



The OSHA 30-Hour equivalency training course provided by NET is not OSHA-authorized training but rather equivalency training and the DOL card is not provided. This training may not cover all training requirements found in OSHA standards, and employers are responsible for providing additional training specific to their jobsite and employee responsibilities. Some workers may find that a combination of Construction, General Industry, and on-site training is necessary.



This training is voluntary, although many companies consider it an essential part of their safety program and may require it as part of employment. Additionally, the following states have certain training requirements for particular employees (check with your state for details): Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.
