OSHA Training in South Lake Tahoe

OSHA Requirements and Training Resources for South Lake Tahoe CA

Most employers must provide their employees with OSHA training in South Lake Tahoe CA based on Cal/OSHA regulations. That is because the State of California, under an agreement with Federal OSHA, operates an approved State Plan OSHA Program, commonly known as Cal-OSHA. Initial approval of the California State Plan was published on May 1, 1973, and certification for completing all developmental steps was received on August 19, 1977.  Employers located on the NV side of the state line are covered by that state’s OSHA program. 

OSHA Regulations and Standards

Health and safety standards affecting most employers’ responsibilities for providing OSHA training in South Lake Tahoe California are significantly different than those of Federal OSHA. The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is a standard setting agency within the Cal-OSHA program, which includes development and maintenance of standards for certain areas not covered by federal standards or enforcement. These latter standards apply to elevators, aerial passenger tramways, amusement rides, pressure vessels, and mine safety training.

Cal-OSHA health and safety standards (also known as safety orders under Title 8) are available on the California DOL website.

Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Accepted in South Lake Tahoe

There are also OSHA-authorized online 10 and 30-hour training courses available for construction and general industry. However, you must pay close attention, as only those course providers that are specifically authorized to provide these courses can issue trainees the official DOL / OSHA 10 or 30-hour wallet cards. There are plenty of imitators out there who use deceptive fine print and “too good to be true” pricing to sell you a course that is not OSHA authorized.

You can rest assured that the 10 and 30-hour online OSHA training courses offered on our website are authorized by OSHA, and are accepted in South Lake Tahoe as well as in all other states and US territories.
