What is OSHA 30?

OSHA 30 is a 30-hour safety awareness course for construction supervisors and workers. It's not a test you “pass” — it's a course completion card that proves you've completed formal safety training.

The DOL card (green or blue laminated credential) is what employers want. Some states require it by law for public works projects. VoltExam tests you on the knowledge the course covers, so you truly understand the material rather than just sitting through lectures.
