Regulations change, and many states have rules that are different from or stricter than federal OSHA. We work to keep this content accurate, but we are human and we can make mistakes.

Completing topics on this site does not make you “certified” or “authorized” for any task, and it is not an OSHA Outreach (10- or 30-hour) course.
