OSHA Outreach Training

Completing an OSHA Outreach Training course signifies that you have successfully undertaken OSHA-aligned training, helping you secure a new job or maintain your current employment.

No, OSHA online certifications do not expire at the federal level. However, certain states or industries may impose specific renewal requirements. Even in the absence of renewal obligations, we recommend refreshing your training every 3-4 years to stay current with any updates to OSHA regulations.

An OSHA (DOL) card is the official credential issued by the US Department of Labor (DOL) to individuals who have successfully completed an authorized Outreach Training Program. These cards are mandated in certain states and by various employers.

There are two types of OSHA DOL cards, depending on your training type. The Construction DOL card is light yellow, and the General Industry card is light blue. Watch the video below to learn how to obtain an OSHA DOL card for yourself or your company.

When you complete an online training program, you'll receive a Department of Labor card as proof of meeting your OSHA training requirements. While most providers require you to wait 6-8 weeks for your card, we guarantee delivery as soon as 2 weeks after you complete the course and survey, enabling you to access job sites promptly.

To ensure you select the right course, enroll in training provided by an authorized source, such as AdvanceOnline.

All online Occupational Safety and Health Administration courses operate on a Pass/Fail basis and are not graded. You'll have three attempts to pass an exam, requiring a minimum score of 70% for success. Failing the same exam three times constitutes a course failure. To retake the exam, you must register for a new course and start from scratch.

Officially, there is no such thing as an "OSHA certification," a term discouraged by OSHA. When websites use this term, they typically refer to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Outreach program. Upon successful completion of a course from an authorized training provider, like AdvanceOnline Solutions, the DOL will issue you an official card. While these cards are not universally required, they are mandated by specific states and certain employers.
