OSHA Training Practice Test: OSHA 10 Quiz Questions and Answers

We offer OSHA safety videos for the construction, manufacturing, industrial and general industries.

In order to successfully complete an OSHA course, you must pass an OSHA quiz at the end of each lesson. These quizzes act as safety practice tests, covering the material you have learned up to that point. To receive your Department of Labor card, you must also pass the comprehensive OSHA 10 test at the end. If you‘re feeling nervous about the exam, there are several sources online where you can take a practice OSHA 10 test.

The other type of OSHA course is OSHA 30, which is for supervisor-level employees. It uses the same format of OSHA 30 quizzes that prepare you for the final, which we have available.

Start by practicing with any OSHA 10 quizzes. OSHA 10 test answers prepare you for the OSHA 30 test because the supervisor-level course covers everything from OSHA 10 before moving on to additional material.

When looking for safety practice tests online, remember to check which industry the questions are for. OSHA quiz answers may be the same for both General Industry and Construction, but some details may differ, and some topics may only be relevant to one or the other. Make sure you‘re studying for the right test to avoid wasting time.

Below are some sample OSHA 10 questions and answers about construction standards. Try to answer each one, then we‘ll go over the correct answers and explain why they are correct.
