While there is no official certification required to teach most OSHA training classes in Maryland, you must make certain that on site OSHA 10 or 30-hour training classes are conducted by OSHA trainers like ours who are officially authorized to conduct these OSHA courses.

You can confirm their status as a currently authorized OSHA Outreach trainer by asking to look at their credentials proving they completed the following trainer courses.
Construction industry trainers must successfully complete the OSHA 510 course, followed by the OSHA 500 course. This qualifies the trainer to conduct OSHA 10-hour construction training in Maryland and anywhere else in the USA and territories for a four-year period. The trainer is also authorized to conduct OSHA 30-hour construction training in Maryland and elsewhere. To maintain their status as an authorized OSHA Outreach trainer for construction, they must complete the OSHA 502 trainer update course every four years.
General industry trainers must successfully complete the OSHA 511 course, followed by the OSHA 501 course. This qualifies the trainer to conduct OSHA 10-hour general industry training in Maryland and anywhere else in the USA and territories for a four-year period.

Special Safety Training Considerations for Workers in Maryland
While our onsite and online OSHA 10 and 30-hour training courses for construction and general industry are the gold standard for training about general hazard recognition and avoidance for workers and supervisors, there are many workers in MD who face unique environmental and occupational hazards that require other specialized safety training to prevent serious injuries and illnesses.
For example, Heat Illness Prevention Training is considered essential for anyone working in high temperatures or humid conditions, where prolonged exposure can lead to heat stress and even life-threatening heat stroke. So, whether working on construction sites, roadwork, landscaping and lawn care crews, in commercial kitchens, attics, or buildings without adequate ventilation, affected workers must know how to recognize the early signs of heat-related illness and know how to stay hydrated, take proper rest breaks, and respond to emergencies. This training equips them with the knowledge needed to help them work safely in extreme heat.
Conversely, Cold Stress Prevention Training is critical for workers who are exposed to freezing temperatures, or even cool and damp conditions, whether outdoors or in workplaces such as refrigerated warehouses, food processing plants, or unheated job sites. Cold stress can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and reduced dexterity, increasing the risk of accidents. Workers will learn to recognize early symptoms of cold-related illnesses and implement safe work practices to minimize risk in frigid environments.
Also, workers in industries such as oil and gas, storm or wastewater management, mining, and agriculture must be aware of the dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic gas commonly found in drilling sites, refineries, chemical plants, manure pits, grain elevators, mines, sewers, and underground utility spaces. Without proper precautions, exposure can quickly become fatal. H2S Hazard Awareness Training helps ensure workers can identify H2S hazards, understand the importance of gas detection equipment, and follow emergency procedures to stay safe in high-risk environments.
And workers involved in any aspect of confined space entry operations 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.
Our Online OSHA 10 and 30-hour Training Courses Are Accepted in Maryland
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 Maryland as well as all other states and US territories.
State of Maryland OSHA Regulations and Standards
The state of Maryland, under agreement with OSHA, operates an occupational safety and health program (MOSH) that regulates OSHA training in most MD workplaces (public and private), in accordance with Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The Maryland plan was certified on February 15, 1980, and was granted final state plan approval on July 18, 1985.
In order to avoid duplication of regulatory requirements and facilitate compliance by Maryland employers, MOSH has adopted the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Standards contained in Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910 (General Industry), Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1926 (Construction), and Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1928 (Agriculture). In addition to these federal standards, MOSH has adopted several regulations that are unique to Maryland. These regulations (or standards) are available on the MOSH website.
Jurisdiction
MOSH has jurisdiction over all public and private sector places of employment in the state of Maryland, with the exception of federal employees, the United States Postal Service, private sector maritime activities (shipyard employment, marine terminals, and longshoring), and military bases, which are subject to federal jurisdiction.

Three Facts to Know About Occupational Safety and Health in Maryland
- Maryland’s manufacturing and warehousing sectors consistently report high rates of musculoskeletal injuries.

- At the time this information was assembled, Maryland requires workers’ compensation insurance for employers with one or more employees.
