Introduction
The OSHA 10-Hour Health and Safety Qualification is a general introductory training program to promote a culture of workplace safety and health awareness among employees.
It is designed for entry-level workers across various industries — particularly general industry, and manufacturing — to help them identify, prevent, and control common workplace hazards.
