Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Accepted in Lubbock TX

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 Lubbock TX as well as in all other states and US territories.

Special Safety Training Considerations for Lubbock TX

Located near the Permian Basin and other oil-producing regions, Lubbock plays a key role in supporting oil and gas operations. Workers in these industries face potential Hydrogen sulfide gas exposure, making H₂S Awareness Training Certification essential for safety. 

Additionally, Lubbock’s extreme summer heat puts outdoor and industrial workers at risk for heat-related illnesses such as heat stress or heat stroke. Our Heat Illness Prevention Training helps workers recognize symptoms, stay hydrated, and take other preventive measures needed to stay safe.

Workers must complete Confined Space Entry Training for General Industry before entering hazardous areas such as tanks, vats, silos, sewer and storm drain systems, underground utilities, and many crawl spaces. Supervisors overseeing confined space entry and attendants monitoring entrant safety must also be trained. These environments pose serious risks, including toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, and engulfment. Additionally, construction workers and supervisors entering confined spaces must complete specialized Confined Space Training for Construction.
