While OSHA does not mandate training for all employees, both workers and employers are encouraged to complete training on specific topics available at Get OSHA Courses.com. OSHA recommends that employees take the 10-Hour Safety Training and 30-Hour Safety Training programs.
Additionally, many employers prefer their workers to complete the OSHA 10-Hour Training, and supervisors to complete the OSHA 30-Hour Training, as these courses cover a broad range of site safety topics—even though OSHA training is not legally required under Federal OSHA regulations in Arkansas.
