A Reference Guide to OSHA Cards

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) issues official completion cards to students who complete authorized OSHA Outreach Training Programs. Here is a handy guide for which cards are available, who should get OSHA Department of Labor cards, and what OSHA DOL cards look like.

OSHA Outreach Completion Cards

The United States Department of Labor (DOL) provides cards to authorized trainers to issue to students who complete OSHA Outreach Training Programs. 10-Hour and 30-Hour OSHA cards can only be issued by an authorized OSHA trainer and are the property of the student who completed the course.

Since these cards must be processed through the Department of Labor, cards can take up to 8 weeks to be delivered. USFOSHA.com offers a temporary completion certificate available for immediate download; students can use this temporary certificate as proof of their successful Outreach training completion until their official card arrives.
