OSHA 10 & 30 Online Training: Compare Providers

The right online OSHA course is the one your employer, project, union, or state or local rule names in writing. Most entry-level workers are directed to a 10-hour course, while supervisors and workers with safety responsibility are more often directed to a 30-hour course. Construction and General Industry are separate courses, not interchangeable versions of the same class. Resolve those two decisions — 10 or 30 hours, Construction or General Industry — plus delivery mode (online or classroom) and language (English or Spanish) before you compare a single price.

These courses belong to the federal OSHA Outreach Training Program. Completing one earns a student course-completion card, often called a DOL card. It is not a certification, not a license, and not a substitute for the job-specific training that OSHA standards may separately require. Federal OSHA does not require Outreach training for all workers, although employers, projects, unions, states and localities can — and often do — require it on their own authority.

The decisive purchase gate is simple: buy only from a provider that appears on OSHA's current list of authorized online Outreach training providers for your exact course, and, if you need Spanish, on OSHA's separate Spanish-language list for that same track. Budget for the wait as well as the price: on July 22, 2026, sampled list prices ran $59 to $89 for 10-hour courses and $150 to $189 for 30-hour courses, with sale prices as low as $59 and $159 live on that date, and the printable certificate arrives well before the mailed DOL card, which providers estimate at two to four weeks. Your first action is not a checkout page. Get the requirement in writing — exact course name, industry track, hours, language and any course-recency rule — then check whether a state, city or county law is what is driving it, because eight states and three local governments set their own hours, deadlines and approved-course rules, and missing one of those deadlines can mean removal from the site or suspension of your employment. Only then open OSHA's list and match the provider to that exact course before paying anyone.

Which provider fits your situation?

These picks segment by verified fit; there is no single "best OSHA provider," and none of these picks is an endorsement by OSHA. The evidence, dated prices and disqualifiers behind each pick appear in the comparison and profiles below.

• Best first move when nothing is in writing (and possibly free to you): do not buy yet — ask the employer, project owner, union or school for the exact course, and whether they pay for or assign a provider.
• Best for one account covering all four English and Spanish online tracks: 360training (OSHAcampus).
• Best for flat, simple pricing with English and Spanish 10- and 30-hour options and a business-account path: HSI (Summit Training Source).
• Best for construction-focused catalogs and bilingual crews, except Spanish General Industry 30: ClickSafety.
• Best for an English-only Construction 10, Construction 30 or General Industry 10 purchase when broader coverage is not needed: AdvanceOnline — though on July 22, 2026 sampled prices, CareerSafe ($59) and ClickSafety ($59 sale) were lower for 10-hour training and HSI ($150) was lower for 30-hour.
• Best for students, young workers and CTE programs, 10-hour tracks only: CareerSafe.

Nothing below is a reason to buy before you have the requirement in writing, with the exact industry track, hours, language and any course-recency rule.

What does OSHA authorization actually mean?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) authorizes independent trainers and online providers to deliver Outreach Training Program courses. Those providers are private businesses, not government agencies, and Required Courses is an independent publisher with no OSHA or government affiliation.

Authorized is not certified. OSHA Outreach training is voluntary under federal law, and none of the Outreach courses is a certification. The card you earn is a student course-completion card. It does not satisfy the specific training requirements written into OSHA standards, does not guarantee employment, and does not guarantee that a particular employer or jobsite will accept it. OSHA also states that it cannot validate training offered by vendors that are not on its current online-provider list.

"Voluntary federally" and "required for you" can both be true. OSHA's Outreach Training Program FAQs note that some states have enacted laws mandating the training, and employers, project owners, unions and localities may require it as a condition of work. Per OSHA's Facts About Obtaining an OSHA Card, the training is not federally required and completing it does not guarantee a job — treat any vendor that promises otherwise as a warning sign.

Which acceptance systems can apply to your card?

Three different systems decide whether your course counts — call them the three acceptance gates. They answer to different decision-makers, and your card has to clear each one that applies to you.

Acceptance system	Who approves or accepts	What it changes for you
OSHA authorization (federal program)	OSHA authorizes an independent trainer or online provider for a specific Outreach course	The result of the course is a DOL student course-completion card. Buying outside OSHA's list risks paying for a certificate that comes with no card.
Employer, project or union acceptance	The employer, project owner or contract decides what it accepts	Confirm in writing which card, industry track and completion-date standard is accepted. An OSHA-authorized course can still be the wrong course for your site.
State or local requirement	A state, county or city law or agency may mandate training	The mandate — hours, curriculum, recency, deadline — comes from that authority, not from OSHA. Check the jurisdiction table below, then check your state or local course rules before assuming online Outreach satisfies them.

On this page, "authorized" means listed by OSHA for a specific online Outreach course, and "accepted" means an employer, project or local authority will take the card; neither word implies certification, licensing or any guarantee.

Which states, cities and counties mandate this training?

This table covers every U.S. jurisdiction we could verify as having a statute or ordinance that names OSHA Outreach training as a condition of construction work: eight states and three local governments, each checked against the governing text or the administering agency on August 9, 2026. No other state has such a law. Where none exists, the requirement — if you have one — comes from your employer, the project owner, a union agreement or the contract.

Jurisdiction and mandating authority	Who it covers	What it requires	If it's missed	Does an OSHA-listed online course satisfy it?	Checked
Connecticut — Connecticut Department of Labor, under CGS §31-53b	Private-sector employees and apprentices performing manual labor for a general contractor or subcontractor on a state- or municipally-funded public building project where the total cost of all work is at least $100,000	A 10-hour OSHA construction Outreach course. The general contractor must furnish proof to the Labor Commissioner within 30 days of contract award, and a copy of the completion document goes on the certified payroll where the worker's name first appears	A completion document issued more than five years before the project start date is not proof of compliance. A worker found noncompliant may keep working up to 14 consecutive calendar days and is subject to removal if satisfactory proof is not given to the Labor Commissioner by the fifteenth day	Yes. Connecticut also accepts trainer documentation pending card issuance, and, for public works contracts under CGS §31-53(g), MSHA Part 48 new miner training or a 29 CFR 1910.268 course for telecommunications workers	Aug 9, 2026
Massachusetts — Attorney General's Office, under M.G.L. c. 30, §39S	Anyone bidding on or signing a contract for public works or public building work estimated above $10,000; reaches employees entitled to the prevailing wage and any other employee of an entity required to pay it	Certification that all employees to be employed at the worksite completed an OSHA-approved 10-hour construction course, documented on the first certified payroll report for each worker. Workers carry that documentation on their person on site	A worker found on site without documentation is subject to immediate removal. The Attorney General's Office may also go to Superior Court to restrain the award or performance of the contract	Yes. The Attorney General's Office treats a 30-hour construction course as satisfying the 10-hour requirement	Aug 9, 2026
Missouri — Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards, under §292.675 RSMo	On-site employees of contractors and subcontractors on public works projects	A 10-hour OSHA construction program or a Division-approved equivalent, completed within 60 days of beginning work	A worker found on site without documentation gets 20 days to produce it before removal. The contractor forfeits $2,500 to the public body plus $100 per employee for each calendar day, or part of one, worked without training — withheld from contract payments, with contractors and subcontractors jointly liable	Yes. The Division also lists approved alternatives, including OSHA 30 construction, MSHA Part 46 and Part 48 new miner training and PEC Core Compliance	Aug 9, 2026
Nevada — Division of Industrial Relations, Safety Consultation and Training Section, under NRS 618.983 and 618.987	All construction workers statewide, not only public projects, plus entertainment, convention-services and cannabis workers under parallel sections	An OSHA-10 completion card within 15 days of hire, or OSHA-30 for supervisory employees, from a course approved by the Division. Cards issued after January 1, 2020 are entered in a state verification database	If the worker does not present a current, valid card by day 15, the employer must suspend or terminate employment	Not automatically. Nevada ties the requirement to Division-approved courses, and SCATS runs free 10- and 30-hour classes online and in person at no charge for the card — confirm with SCATS before buying online	Aug 9, 2026
New Hampshire — New Hampshire Department of Labor, under RSA 277:5-a	On-site employees on public work or buildings costing $100,000 or more, paid in whole or part with state funds	The OSHA 10-hour construction safety program, completed before beginning work	A worker has until the fifteenth day after being found noncompliant to produce documentation before removal, and the labor commissioner may assess a civil penalty of up to $2,500 plus $100 per employee for each day of noncompliance	Yes	Aug 9, 2026
New York State — New York State Department of Labor, Bureau of Public Work, under Labor Law §220-h	Laborers, workers and mechanics entitled to the prevailing wage on state or municipal public work contracts where the total cost is at least $250,000	Certification of an OSHA-approved construction safety course of at least 10 hours before performing any work. Proof attaches to the first certified payroll and to each later payroll where a new worker first appears	The worker is not certified to perform work on the project, and the Bureau of Public Work enforces. An employer's own attestation that employees completed the course is not accepted as proof	Yes. A completion card, or a trainer's roster or attendance documentation pending card issuance, is accepted proof. New York State requires no renewal	Aug 9, 2026
New York City — NYC Department of Buildings, under Local Law 196 of 2017	Construction and demolition workers and supervisors at sites required to designate a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator or Site Safety Manager	A Site Safety Training (SST) card: a minimum of 40 hours of DOB-defined training for workers and 62 hours for supervisors, valid five years	Without a valid SST card, a covered worker cannot work at a covered site	No, not on its own. An OSHA 10 or 30 card counts toward the SST hour total, and DOB allows a new entrant to begin work on completing OSHA 10 provided the full 40 hours follow within six months. The SST card itself is issued only through DOB-registered course providers	Aug 9, 2026
Philadelphia — Department of Licenses and Inspections, under the Philadelphia Code	All workers directly performing permitted construction or demolition work, including employees of licensed trade contractors and state-registered home improvement contractors. Delivery people, design professionals, special inspectors and workers not doing permit-regulated work are excluded	OSHA 10 Construction from an authorized Outreach trainer or an L&I-approved alternative, with proof kept on the job site. Licensed contractors must also identify at least one supervisory employee holding OSHA 30 completed within five years of the application date	Workers must furnish proof to L&I officials on request. A contractor license is not issued or renewed without a qualifying supervisor, though L&I accepts 30 hours of construction or demolition safety continuing education in place of retaking OSHA 30 once a certificate has been accepted	Yes, and L&I separately publishes approved alternatives to OSHA training	Aug 9, 2026
Rhode Island — Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training, under RIGL §37-23-1	Covered prevailing-wage employees on municipal or state construction projects with a total project cost of $100,000 or more	An OSHA 10-hour construction safety certification. The worker must carry the DOL card on their person at all times while work is actually being performed	The director may issue a cease-and-desist order and shall order an administrative penalty of $250 to $950 per offense for each day a violation occurs. No firm may bid for or work on a covered project without the program in place	Yes for the course — but plan for card delivery, because the statute makes the physical card the on-site compliance document, not the printable certificate	Aug 9, 2026
West Virginia — West Virginia Division of Labor, under WV Code §21-3-22	Anyone employed at or assigned to a public improvement work site under a contract entered on or after July 1, 2014, where the total contract cost exceeds $50,000	A 10-hour OSHA construction safety program no later than 21 calendar days after being employed at or assigned to the site	The commissioner may issue a cease-and-desist order barring the untrained person from the site until proof is produced, and may assess a civil penalty of $100 to $1,000 per violation. Knowingly presenting a false completion record is a misdemeanor	Yes. Assignments shorter than 21 consecutive days are exempt under the statute	Aug 9, 2026
Miami-Dade County, Florida — Miami-Dade County, under County Code §2-11.17 (Residents First Training and Employment Program)	Everyone employed to perform construction on a County construction contract valued above $1,000,000, and on privately funded construction valued above $1,000,000 on County-owned land	OSHA 10-hour construction safety training completed before the person is employed on the project	Compliance runs through a notarized Responsible Contractor Affidavit filed with the bid, plus subcontractor affidavits. A contractor that cannot certify compliance cannot meet the bid condition	Yes for an OSHA-authorized 10-hour construction course. Confirm the exact affidavit language with the County department administering your contract	Aug 9, 2026

Two things this table cannot settle for you. Connecticut's parallel public works track under CGS §31-53(g) uses the prevailing-wage coverage rules rather than a single stated dollar figure, so ask the Connecticut Department of Labor's Wage and Workplace Standards Division whether your specific project is covered. And several online course pages state a $500,000 project threshold for West Virginia; the statute says the total contract cost must exceed $50,000. Where a provider page and the governing text disagree, the governing text controls, and the same rule applies to every figure in this table.

If your jurisdiction is not in the table

Two other layers still reach you. States and territories that run their own OSHA-approved State Plan set their own occupational safety rules, and any city, county, school district, transit authority or public owner can attach a training condition to a contract. This routing covers every remaining state and territory as of August 9, 2026.

Coverage	Jurisdictions	What it means for Outreach training
State Plan covering both private and state or local government workers	Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming	Your state agency, not federal OSHA, sets and enforces safety rules for most private employers, and may add training requirements federal OSHA does not have — Nevada in the table above is the clearest example. Ask the state plan directly before assuming online Outreach satisfies a state rule
State Plan covering state and local government workers only	Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, U.S. Virgin Islands	Private-sector workers and employers remain under federal OSHA. Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York separately run the public-works statutes in the table above
No state plan — federal OSHA jurisdiction	All other states, the District of Columbia and the remaining territories	Federal OSHA applies directly and does not require Outreach training. Any requirement you have comes from your employer, the project owner, a union agreement or the contract

Whichever layer applies, ask the entity enforcing the requirement, in writing, which authority it is acting under and what document proves compliance.

Which course do you need: 10 or 30, Construction or General Industry?

According to OSHA's Outreach Training Program FAQs, the 10-hour class is intended to give workers awareness of common job-related safety and health hazards, while the 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility. That role shorthand is a starting point, not the rule. The written requirement controls: some projects direct every worker to a 10-hour course regardless of title, some require supervisors to hold a 30-hour card issued within a recent window, and a 30-hour card does not automatically substitute for a 10-hour requirement under every employer or local rule — Massachusetts and Missouri accept it explicitly, which is exactly why you check the rule that applies to you rather than assuming.

The second axis matters just as much. Construction and General Industry are distinct Outreach courses with different curricula, and the word "OSHA" in an instruction does not tell you which one you need. Warehouse, manufacturing and healthcare roles usually point toward General Industry; building trades usually point toward Construction — but confirm how your employer classifies the work rather than guessing from a job title. For the full conceptual comparison of the two levels, see OSHA 10 vs. OSHA 30; the table below is the purchase-level decision.

Reader situation	Likely starting point	Confirm before enrollment
Entry-level construction worker	Construction 10-hour	The written employer, project, union, state or local requirement.
Construction supervisor or worker with safety responsibility	Construction 30-hour	Whether 30 hours is specifically required, and whether a local or site program adds hours or its own curriculum.
Warehouse, manufacturing, healthcare or similar worker	General Industry 10-hour	Your employer's exact industry classification and the exact course title requested.
General Industry supervisor or worker with safety responsibility	General Industry 30-hour	The exact written requirement and language needed — the official Spanish list for this track is narrower.
No written requirement yet	No purchase yet	Ask the employer or project owner which card, industry track and completion-date standard is required.

Before you buy, ask three questions and get the answers in writing:

1. Which exact course? Course name, industry track, hours and any recency rule (for example, "completed within the last five years").
2. Which delivery and language? Whether an online course is acceptable, and whether you need English or Spanish.
3. Who pays? Whether the employer, union or school pays for the course or assigns a specific provider — if so, your comparison may already be done.

How did we select and verify these providers?

This shortlist is built to be auditable, and it is deliberately not a ranking. Here is the exact method:

1. Inclusion gate. A provider is included only if it appears on OSHA's current authorized online Outreach provider list for at least one of the four online tracks. Authorization cells were checked July 22, 2026 and re-verified August 9, 2026.
2. Spanish scope. Spanish availability comes only from OSHA's separate Spanish online-provider list, by exact track — never from a vendor's language toggle or marketing.
3. Commercial fields. Price, card timing, refund, exam and employer-tool details come from each provider's own course, support and policy pages, with observation dates. A missing field is labeled "not publicly confirmed" — it is never treated as zero, free, or "no rule."
4. Symmetry, no scoring. Every provider gets the same fields and equivalent best-for and not-a-fit depth. No scoring rubric, star ratings or weighted ranking is used anywhere on this page. Profiles appear in order of verified track breadth, broadest coverage first; no other ordering logic applies.
5. No affiliate influence. No affiliate relationship is documented with any provider named here. Inclusion, order and framing owe nothing to commissions, and every link on this page works as an official or neutral reference.

This page is maintained by the Required Courses editorial team, which checks every authorization cell directly against OSHA's own lists rather than against provider claims. Required Courses is an independent publisher — not a government agency, regulator, accreditor or course provider, and not affiliated with OSHA or the U.S. Department of Labor. How this page is funded: Required Courses is supported by advertising and, on some pages, disclosed referral links. No provider has paid for placement, ordering, or inclusion on this page, and compensation never determines what is included or how it is ranked. If a compensated link is added to this page, it will be disclosed here. If a provider's status here no longer matches OSHA's list, or a price has moved, write to hello@requiredcourses.com and we will re-check the row and restamp its date. If a provider disappears from OSHA's list, the row comes down rather than getting relabeled, and any pick that depended on it is withdrawn with it.

Authorization rows are re-checked on the publication date and at least quarterly; prices and commercial terms are refreshed monthly to quarterly, with the next scheduled review by September 22, 2026. For the reusable method behind step 1 — applicable to any course type, not just OSHA — see how to verify a course provider.

Considered but not included

• PureEHS (PureSafety) appears on OSHA's current English and Spanish online-provider lists for Construction 10, Construction 30 and General Industry 10 as of August 9, 2026. It was excluded solely because a complete, same-field commercial dataset (current individual price, refund, card timing and employer tools) was not compiled by the July 22, 2026 research date.
• University of South Florida appears on OSHA's current English list for all four online tracks, and on the Spanish list for Construction 10, Construction 30, General Industry 10 and General Industry 30, as of August 9, 2026. It was excluded for the same commercial-data gap.
• RedVector (Vector Solutions) appears on OSHA's English list for Construction 10 only as of August 9, 2026, and was excluded for the same commercial-data gap.
• CareerSafe's 30-hour Construction offer is marketed through a partner, and CareerSafe does not appear under its own name on OSHA's online-provider list for any 30-hour track as of August 9, 2026. The exact partner course was not verified, so the 30-hour offer fails the inclusion gate; CareerSafe's 10-hour tracks are profiled normally.

None of these exclusions is a quality judgment. OSHA's list is public, and you can research every currently listed option directly. If you need Spanish General Industry 30 in particular, OSHA's Spanish list carries three providers for that track as of August 9, 2026 — 360training, HSI and the University of South Florida — so the exclusion above removes one of your three official options from this comparison, not from the market.

How do the authorized providers compare?

Authorization cells below were re-verified against OSHA's current English and Spanish online-provider lists on August 9, 2026, and are re-checked again on the day this page publishes. "Not listed" means the provider does not appear on OSHA's current list for that online track — it is not a statement about classroom courses, partner offers or the provider's other products. Both lists cover only these four tracks: Outreach also runs Maritime and Disaster Site Worker courses, but no provider is authorized to deliver those online, so they run through authorized trainers in a classroom.

Prices and commercial terms below were observed July 22, 2026 on the provider pages linked in each profile. Sale prices change without notice — verify the cart total for your exact track at checkout. A "not publicly confirmed" field means the term was not clearly published on the sampled pages, not that no fee or rule exists.

Provider	OSHA-listed tracks (Aug 9, 2026)	Tuition snapshot (Jul 22, 2026)	Certificate and DOL card timing	Pacing limits	Refund and exam visibility	Employer tools

Your situation	Shortlist to evaluate	Confirm before you pay
Individual buyer, English, self-paced	360training; AdvanceOnline (Construction 10 and 30, General Industry 10 only)	The exact product is a DOL-card Outreach course for your track, not a look-alike safety course; the cart total; the refund window before you start.
Spanish-language learner or bilingual crew	360training or HSI (all four Spanish tracks); ClickSafety (Spanish Construction 10 and 30, General Industry 10)	Your track appears on OSHA's Spanish list under that provider; the language of the exam and learner support; the card mailing address.

Provider profiles: best fit, not a fit, and what to check first

Every profile uses the same fields, and every best-fit label is an editorial judgment built on the verified fields above — not an endorsement by OSHA, and never a claim that one DOL card is more official than another.

360training (OSHAcampus)

Verification: listed on OSHA's English online-provider list for all four tracks — Construction 10 and 30, General Industry 10 and 30 — and on OSHA's Spanish list for all four tracks, re-verified August 9, 2026.

Best for buyers who want one self-service account that can cover any of the four tracks in English or Spanish, including the narrower Spanish General Industry 30 lane.

Not a fit for buyers who won't double-check product names. The same catalog sells safety courses that are not DOL-card Outreach courses, and a lower-priced "equivalent" course is a separate product; the 30-hour price also varies by storefront context, so the exact cart matters.

As of July 22, 2026, the OSHA 10-Hour Construction course page showed a $59.99 sale price, with 30-hour courses observed at $159.99–$169 across storefront pages. A printable certificate follows completion, and the DOL card typically arrives in about two weeks. Sampled Outreach pages document a daily study limit, a 180-day completion window after course launch, learner identity validation, and a 70% passing score with three final-exam attempts; the refund window is 72 hours with restrictions. Employer tools include group enrollment, LMS-style administration, and progress and certificate storage.

Reporting and re-verification: the provider requests your DOL card after completion, and OSHA requires it to be issued within 90 days. Re-check this provider's listing before paying if more than 90 days have passed since August 9, 2026.

Confirm before you enroll: the course title names OSHA Outreach training for your exact track and leads to a DOL card; the current cart price for your selected track; the 72-hour refund terms before starting any content.

Verdict: a strong fit when track breadth or Spanish coverage decides the purchase — provided you verify the exact product before checkout.

HSI (Summit Training Source)

Verification: listed on OSHA's English online-provider list for all four tracks and on OSHA's Spanish list for all four tracks, re-verified August 9, 2026.

Best for buyers and employers who value flat, predictable pricing across both levels and both languages, with a published group-discount and business-account path.

Not a fit for refund-sensitive buyers: refund terms were not clearly published on the sampled product pages as of July 22, 2026, so treat them as not publicly confirmed and request current written terms before paying. HSI's marketing also speaks broadly about training requirements — the requirement itself still comes from your employer, project or local rule, not from any provider.

As of July 22, 2026, HSI listed OSHA 10-hour training at $70 and OSHA 30-hour training at $150, with a printable certificate at completion and the DOL card stated at two to three weeks. Group discounts are published for ten or more seats, with a business-account demo path for larger teams. Daily or total completion windows were not publicly confirmed on the sampled pages.

Reporting and re-verification: the provider requests your DOL card after completion, and OSHA requires it to be issued within 90 days. Re-check this provider's listing before paying if more than 90 days have passed since August 9, 2026.

Confirm before you enroll: current written refund and retake terms; the exact track and language at checkout; group pricing and administration terms in writing if you are buying seats.

Verdict: a clean fit for straightforward individual purchases and employer buys in either language — once the refund terms are confirmed in writing.

ClickSafety

Verification: listed on OSHA's English online-provider list for all four tracks; on OSHA's Spanish list for Construction 10, Construction 30 and General Industry 10. Spanish General Industry 30 does not appear under ClickSafety on OSHA's Spanish list as of August 9, 2026 — the official list controls over any bilingual marketing.

Best for construction-focused buyers and bilingual crews choosing among Construction 10, Construction 30 or General Industry 10, especially when a current sale price is live.

Not a fit for teams that need Spanish General Industry 30 (evaluate 360training or HSI instead), or for buyers who want a firm, fully published refund guarantee — course changes are handled case by case.

As of July 22, 2026, the ClickSafety OSHA course catalog showed OSHA 10 at an $89 list price with a $59 sale live, and OSHA 30 at $189 list with $159 sale live. The certificate is available immediately after completing the course and its evaluation, and ClickSafety's support documentation states the physical card averages about two weeks. If you buy the wrong course or language, a swap or refund may be reviewed when the course is not started or is under 15% complete — get the exact terms from support in writing rather than assuming coverage. Daily or total completion windows were not publicly confirmed on the sampled pages. Business accounts and team training serve group buyers.

Reporting and re-verification: the provider requests your DOL card after completion and course evaluation, and OSHA requires it to be issued within 90 days. Re-check this provider's listing before paying if more than 90 days have passed since August 9, 2026.

Confirm before you enroll: your track appears under ClickSafety on the correct OSHA list, including the Spanish list if applicable; the sale price actually in your cart; the swap and refund conditions in writing.

Verdict: a good construction-lane and bilingual pick within its verified Spanish scope — verify before you rely on flexibility after purchase.

AdvanceOnline

Verification: listed on OSHA's English online-provider list for Construction 10, Construction 30 and General Industry 10. Not listed for General Industry 30, and not on OSHA's Spanish online-provider list, as of August 9, 2026.

Best for budget-focused individuals buying Construction 10, Construction 30 or General Industry 10 in English through a straightforward purchase page.

Not a fit for anyone who needs General Industry 30 or a Spanish-listed online course, or for buyers who want card-delivery and refund terms published up front before paying.

As of July 22, 2026, the AdvanceOnline OSHA catalog showed OSHA 10 at $59.99 and Construction 30 at $159.99, with a free downloadable completion certificate. Physical DOL card timing was not clearly stated on the sampled pages, and refund, retake and completion-window terms were likewise not publicly confirmed — ask for all of them in writing before purchase. Business accounts and bulk discounts are available for group buyers, with mobile-friendly course access.

Reporting and re-verification: the provider requests your DOL card after completion, and OSHA requires it to be issued within 90 days. Re-check this provider's listing before paying if more than 90 days have passed since August 9, 2026.

Confirm before you enroll: the written card-mailing timeline; current refund and retake terms; that your required track is one of the three AdvanceOnline is listed for.

Verdict: a sensible low-price option inside its three verified tracks, and the one that leaves the most questions to settle before you pay.

CareerSafe

Verification: listed on OSHA's English online-provider list, with a youth focus, for Construction 10 and General Industry 10 only. Not listed for any 30-hour track and not on OSHA's Spanish list as of August 9, 2026.

Best for schools, parents, CTE coordinators and young workers who need a legitimate 10-hour course with education-oriented purchasing and fast, well-documented card shipping.

If the learner is under 18: OSHA's Outreach FAQs state that there is no minimum age to take an Outreach class and that participants do not have to be employed, so the course itself is open to a student. The purchase is still an adult's job. Decide who holds the account and whose legal name goes on the card, ask the school or program what consent or enrollment form it requires before the student starts, check what identity verification the learner must complete without adult help, and confirm the card ship-to address and who receives it. Child-labor rules governing the work itself are separate from the course and come from your state labor department, not from OSHA's Outreach program.

Not a fit for anyone who needs a 30-hour card: CareerSafe markets a 30-hour Construction option delivered through a partner, and that offer is excluded here because the exact partner course was not verified against OSHA's list. Spanish-language learners should also evaluate the Spanish-listed providers instead.

As of July 22, 2026, CareerSafe listed individual OSHA 10 enrollment at $59. Its terms of use document a U.S.-territory limitation, a 7.5-hour daily training limit and a 180-day completion window, and its card guidance states cards commonly ship within four business days and often arrive in 7–10 days, with up to four weeks stated. The refund policy allows refunds within 30 days when the course is under 50% complete, with exclusions that include failing to pass or finish. Education and business purchasing supports classroom-style administration.

Reporting and re-verification: the provider requests your DOL card after completion, and OSHA requires it to be issued within 90 days. Re-check this provider's listing before paying if more than 90 days have passed since August 9, 2026.

Confirm before you enroll: the school or employer accepts an online Outreach course for the exact 10-hour track; identity-verification steps a young learner must complete; the card ship-to address and who receives it.

Verdict: the clear youth and CTE lane for 10-hour training, and the wrong page to buy any 30-hour course from until the partner-level listing is verified.

What does the price include, and what can still cost extra?

Treat every price above as a dated tuition snapshot, not a total. The full cost of meeting a requirement is:

Total required outlay = course tuition + any mandatory exam or proctoring fee + mandatory card or shipping fee + any separately required local, site or job-specific training + taxes + any required replacement or expedited-card fee.

Standard DOL card shipping appears to be included where a provider states it, and taxes were not shown in the sampled prices. None of the five sampled provider pages published a subscription or auto-renewal term for these courses as of July 22, 2026; treat that as not publicly confirmed rather than as an absence of one, and read the checkout page before you pay. Optional costs — expedited shipping, replacement cards, convenience upgrades — sit outside the required outlay, and so does the biggest hidden cost: repurchase. If you buy the wrong industry track or exhaust a provider's final-exam attempts, the refund policies above are narrow enough that a second purchase may be required. That risk belongs next to the price, not buried under it.

Two worked spreads, both at July 22, 2026 sampled prices for an individual English-language online purchase, before tax. A sale price is not a price you can count on finding, so each spread runs from the lowest observed sale price to the highest observed list price.

10-hour course

• Low — $59. A CareerSafe enrollment at list, or ClickSafety's $59 sale price, with a printable certificate at completion.
• Base — $70. An HSI 10-hour course at a flat published price that does not depend on a sale being live.
• High — $118 to $178. The wrong-track scenario: a worker buys, starts the course, falls outside the swap or refund window and buys again, at anything from two sale prices to two list prices.

30-hour course

• Low — $150. An HSI 30-hour course, printable certificate at completion, DOL card stated at two to three weeks.
• Base — $169. The upper end of the 360training range observed across storefront pages.
• High — $300 to $378. The same repurchase scenario at 30-hour prices.

Add any state, city, county or site-specific training the jurisdiction table above requires on top of Outreach tuition. These five sampled prices are also not a market average; they are the observed prices of five providers on one date. For how completion, certificates, mailed cards and acceptance fit together across course types, see certificate and card delivery.

Buying for a team? The employer checklist

Group purchases fail in predictable places: the wrong track assigned to half a crew, cards mailed to the wrong address, or refund terms discovered after a layoff reshuffles the roster. Before a bulk purchase, confirm these eight items in writing:

1. The exact course assignment — track, hours and language — for each worker, matched to the written requirement.
2. Learner identity details and legal-name spelling exactly as each card should read.
3. The card-mailing workflow: company address or worker home, and who signs for and distributes cards.
4. Administrative reporting: progress tracking, completion records and certificate storage or export.
5. Seat reassignment, unused-seat refund and wrong-assignment rules.
6. Group pricing: published tiers where they exist, or a written contact-sales quote — never an assumed discount.
7. The support escalation path and hours for learners stuck on identity checks or exams.
8. Record retention: providers maintain student records for five years under the program, so export and keep your own completion evidence as well.

The employer-tools column in the comparison above shows which group path each provider publishes; request the pricing and administration terms in writing before committing seats.

Are there free, employer-funded or classroom options?

Before paying out of pocket, work through the paths that can make the course free to you, in this order:

• Your employer or project pays. The most common no-cost path. Ask whether there is an assigned provider or a paid seat before you buy anything.
• A union, apprenticeship or workforce program sponsors it. If so, verify who the authorized trainer or online provider is, and confirm a DOL card is issued at the end.
• Your school or CTE program covers it. Common for 10-hour tracks; confirm the industry track matches what the employer will ask for.
• Nevada: state-run classes. The Division of Industrial Relations' Safety Consultation and Training Section delivers free 10- and 30-hour Outreach classes online and in person and issues the card at no charge. This is the clearest free path any jurisdiction in the table above offers, and it is limited to Nevada — seats are scheduled, so register early if a start date is near.
• Classroom courses through authorized trainers. Community colleges and OSHA Training Institute Education Centers run scheduled classes; availability and price are local, and OSHA's Find a Trainer page is the starting point.
• Susan Harwood grant training is not a card path. Free hazard-awareness training funded through those grants exists, but OSHA states that Outreach 10- and 30-hour courses are not funded through the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program — free safety training does not necessarily issue a DOL card.

Outside Nevada, no free online path to a 10- or 30-hour card was verified for this comparison. For broader discovery across course types, see free or employer-funded course options.

Do not buy yet when… nothing is in writing; someone else may pay for or assign the course; the rule that applies to you may require classroom delivery or additional training beyond Outreach; or your deadline is close enough that mailed-card timing matters — ask first what interim proof is acceptable.

Frequently asked questions

Can you really finish OSHA 10 online in one day?

Plan on at least two sessions. The course requires the full contact hours, and providers enforce daily training limits — CareerSafe's terms, for example, document a 7.5-hour daily cap. OSHA's Outreach Training Program Requirements also cap a class at 180 calendar days from its start date, which is where the completion windows on provider pages come from; if that window closes before you finish, expect to lose access and buy the course again. Even after you finish, the physical card is mailed later, so "finish tonight" never means "card in hand tonight."

How long until my training is actually accepted?

The clock runs in stages: course completion, the printable provider certificate (often same day), the provider's card request, the mailed DOL card — provider estimates run two to four weeks, and OSHA requires the trainer or online provider to issue the card within 90 days — and finally the employer's or jobsite's own acceptance decision. If 90 days pass with no card, OSHA's Outreach FAQs direct students to contact the trainer or online provider immediately, and to notify the Outreach Training Program by email with the student name, trainer name, training location and date, and class type if that does not resolve it. The slowest dependency sets the timeline; an instant certificate does not guarantee instant acceptance or any final result. The certificate and card delivery guide walks through the full sequence.

I already paid a vendor that isn't on OSHA's list. What now?

Ask that vendor, in writing, which OSHA-listed online provider or authorized trainer will issue your card, then check that name on OSHA's list yourself — plenty of storefronts resell a listed provider's course under their own brand, and that is legitimate. If no listed provider or authorized trainer stands behind it, the course will not produce a DOL card, because OSHA cannot validate training from vendors outside its list. To check whether a card in hand is real, go back to the trainer or provider that issued it, since completion is verified from their class records; Nevada also runs a state database covering cards issued there after January 1, 2020. Ask for a refund, keep your receipt, and see OSHA's card-fraud guidance for how to report the vendor.

Do OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 cards expire?

Federal OSHA sets no general expiration for Construction or General Industry course-completion cards. But an employer, project, union, state or locality can require training completed within a recent window — Connecticut treats a completion document more than five years old as noncompliant, Philadelphia requires a supervisor's OSHA 30 within five years of the license application, and New York City's SST card is valid five years — so the card's practical shelf life depends on whoever is asking for it. For a lost card, contact the provider or trainer that issued it, since OSHA keeps no class records. Providers maintain those records for five years, after which a replacement requires retaking the class.

Can I take OSHA 10 now and upgrade to OSHA 30 later?

Only under narrow conditions, and usually not online. OSHA's Outreach FAQs allow a trainer to deliver 20 additional hours to a 10-hour student and issue a 30-hour card, but the same trainer must conduct all of the training, everything from the start of the 10-hour class to the end of the 30-hour class must finish within six months, and you must return the original 10-hour card so the trainer can send it to the authorizing training organization. The upgrade also stays inside one industry track — Construction credits toward Construction. If you already know a 30-hour card is required, buying the 30-hour course outright is simpler and often cheaper than the repurchase math above.

Can I use the printable certificate before the card arrives, and what if my start date is sooner?

Sometimes, and the answer comes from whoever enforces the requirement — not from the provider's shipping estimate. The certificate and the DOL card are different documents, so ask in writing, before you enroll, what interim proof is accepted. Some authorities answer it in your favour: Connecticut accepts documentation from a certified trainer pending card issuance, and New York State accepts a trainer's roster or attendance record on the certified payroll while the card is in the mail. Rhode Island goes the other way, requiring the physical DOL card on your person while work is performed. If your deadline has already passed, say so to the employer or contracting agency rather than starting work uncovered — several of the statutes in the table above give a worker found noncompliant a defined grace period rather than immediate dismissal.

What happens if I buy the wrong industry track or fail the final exam?

Outcomes are provider-specific and often narrow: 360training samples showed a 72-hour refund window and three final-exam attempts, ClickSafety reviews swaps case by case for barely started courses, and CareerSafe refunds within 30 days only under 50% completion, with exclusions for failing. Past those limits, expect to buy the course again — which is why the written requirement comes before the cart.

What does an online OSHA 10 or 30 course really cost in total?

On July 22, 2026, sampled list prices across 360training, HSI, ClickSafety, AdvanceOnline and CareerSafe ran $59–$89 for 10-hour and $150–$189 for 30-hour courses, with sale prices as low as $59 and $159 live on that date and standard card shipping included where the provider states it. The advertised price is not the total required outlay: taxes, replacement or expedited cards, repurchase after failed attempts and any separately required local or job-specific training are extra. The price breakdown above carries the full model.

Verify, then enroll

Three steps close this out safely. First, get the requirement in writing: the exact course name, industry track, hours, language and any completion-date standard, plus whether someone else pays or assigns a provider. Second, check the jurisdiction table above — if a state statute, county code or city ordinance is what is driving the requirement, that authority sets the hours, the deadline, the recency rule and sometimes the approved course list, and in New York City an OSHA card is not the card you need. Third, open OSHA's current online-provider list — and the Spanish list if you need it — match your exact course to a listed provider, and only then compare the verified rows above on price, card timing, refund visibility and employer tools. When the course is done, save the certificate, the receipt and the card: completion is verified from provider records, and your own copies are the fastest proof you will ever have.
