How to Determine What OSHA Training is Needed

Determining exactly which OSHA training requirements apply to your workplace can feel overwhelming, and you might have already discovered that there is no single, straightforward answer. Even with OSHA’s extensive resources, like this 270-page safety training guide, misinterpreting a rule can lead to non-compliance.

OSHA requires employers to provide safety and health training based on the specific hazards employees may face on the job. Yes, every employee should receive training on all applicable safety topics. Employers are responsible for maintaining a workplace free from recognized hazards, and effective training is one of the most essential components in achieving that goal.

Different Safety Hazards Means Different Safety Training

Safety and health training requirements are not one size fits all. The hazards that employees will come across in the construction field will differ from those working in a manufacturing plant. Safety training requirements can even vary within a company. Here is a list of OSHA training topics that will apply to almost all businesses:

    • Employee Rights & Responsibilities
