Cal/OSHA, also known as the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), enforces California's state OSHA plan. The plan includes a variety of workplace safety and health standards that protect California workers. In many areas, Cal/OSHA standards are stricter than federal OSHA standards.
Cal/OSHA standards, found in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, apply to nearly every worker in the state, including local and state government workers.
To satisfy Cal/OSHA training requirements, entry-level general industry workers need to complete a 10-hour OSHA Outreach course with three hours of supplementary training on Cal/OSHA regulations.
Due to federal OSHA rules, you can spend no more than 7.5 hours per day in OSHA Outreach training. That means it will take a minimum of two days to complete your training. Time spent on Cal/OSHA training does not count toward the 7.5-hour daily limit.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issues OSHA 10 cards to workers who complete 10 hours of OSHA Outreach training on industry-specific workplace safety topics. This wallet-sized card is printed on durable plastic and is accepted nationwide as proof of training.
Supervisors and workers with certain safety responsibilities are often required to complete 30 hours of Outreach training in order to earn an OSHA 30 card.

However, employers may require you to complete refresher training periodically, such as every three to five years, to ensure you're up to date on workplace safety and health protocols. For more information about refresher training requirements, speak to your employer.
