Training duties attach to what people are exposed to, not to job titles, so this asks about activities rather than industry.

Why this asks about activities, not industry

OSHA training duties attach to what employees are exposed to. A warehouse with no forklifts does not need powered industrial truck training, and an office with a maintenance bay might need lockout/tagout. Asking for your industry and returning a standard list would be faster, and it would be wrong for most of the people using it.

Common questions

What OSHA training is required for all employees?

There is no single universal list. OSHA training duties attach to exposures and activities, so two employers in the same industry can have very different obligations. The requirements that reach almost every general industry workplace are emergency action plan training under 1910.38 and walking-working surfaces under 1910.30, with hazard communication under 1910.1200 applying wherever hazardous chemicals are present.

Is training determined by job title or by exposure?

By exposure. A job title tells you nothing about whether somebody enters a confined space or works near energised equipment, which is why this tool asks what happens at your workplace rather than what people are called.

Does this tool make me compliant?

No. It narrows a large field to the duties that plausibly reach you and names the provision behind each one so you can check it. Some duties depend on exposure levels that have to be measured, and only you know your workplace.

How often does training have to be repeated?

It varies by standard. Bloodborne pathogens and respiratory protection are annual. Powered industrial truck operators need a performance evaluation at least every three years. Many standards set retraining triggers, such as a new hazard or an observed deficiency, rather than a fixed interval.
