The OSHA 10-Hour General Industry course is an orientation to occupational safety and health for entry-level workers, part of OSHA's Outreach Training program under 29 CFR 1910. It teaches the best practices that reduce accidents and injuries, the major hazards you are likely to encounter on the job, and the rights OSHA gives you as a worker, and it ends in an official OSHA 10-hour Department of Labor card. The course was authored by Jason Cole, CIH, CSP, an OSHA-authorized Outreach Trainer for general industry and construction.

General industry is any field outside construction, maritime, and agriculture, including healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, automotive, and cosmetology. The OSHA 10 card suits entry-level general industry workers. If you work in construction, you need the separate OSHA 10-Hour Construction course instead.
