OSHA 10-Hour Safety Training - 2026

OSHA-10 Safety Training

Workplace safety is essential for manufacturers looking to protect employees, reduce incidents, and maintain compliance across their operations. Maryland MEP has partnered with TPC to deliver OSHA 10-Hour Safety Training for General Industry, providing manufacturers with foundational safety knowledge and practical strategies to help identify hazards, prevent injuries, and promote a stronger safety culture on the shop floor.

Students will learn core OSHA safety principles and best practices relevant to manufacturing settings, including hazard recognition and avoidance, employee rights and employer responsibilities, and the importance of following established safety procedures. Topics often include walking-working surfaces, electrical safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency action planning, and other common workplace risks found in industrial and production environments.

By the end of the course, participants will be better prepared to recognize and reduce workplace hazards, support safer day-to-day operations, and contribute to a culture of safety and accountability throughout their facility. Upon completion, OSHA-10 cards will be mailed to participants.
