What score do you need to pass OSHA 30?

Your authorized trainer sets the class test. Many trainers use about 70%. This lab’s 50-question OSHA 30-style mock requires 35 correct (70%). That score does not become a card.

Can I get an OSHA 30 card from a practice website?

No. Cards come only from authorized Outreach trainers after the required hours. Paying $9.99 here unlocks practice questions, not a card.

How to pass OSHA 30

Q: How do you pass OSHA 30?

Complete 30 hours of authorized Outreach training. Your trainer’s knowledge check is what you pass in class. OSHA does not publish one official final exam. This website does not issue a card.

Q: How many questions is the OSHA 30 test?

It varies by trainer. OSHA does not set one national question count. This site’s OSHA 30-style mock is 50 questions with 35 to pass — practice only, 70% on this lab.

Show up for the hours. Know the Focus Four and fall numbers. Ignore “real exam dump” PDFs. Then use practice to make the trainer’s test less of a surprise.

Step 1 — The class is the exam

OSHA 30 is a 30-hour course, not a DMV-style permit test you can take in a kiosk. Authorized trainers track attendance. Miss hours and you do not get the card, even if you can recite 1926.501.

Use the OSHA Outreach Training Program page to understand who may issue a card. If a site sells a “card in 2 hours” or a PDF of “100 official answers,” walk away.

Step 2 — Study what actually kills people

Construction 30-hour classes spend the most time on the Focus Four because that is where fatalities cluster:

Falls — usual construction trigger 6 feet (29 CFR 1926.501); scaffolds often 10 feet; body belts are not fall arrest
Struck-by — vehicles, falling objects, flying tools
Caught-in/between — trenches (protective system by 5 feet in construction, unless in stable rock), unguarded equipment
Electrocution — overhead lines, damaged cords, missing GFCI, LOTO when servicing

Supervisors also get more time on how a program is supposed to run: inspections, competent person, recording injuries, and talking to a crew before a task. If you are taking General Industry 30, drill walking-working surfaces (often 4 feet), 1910.147 lockout/tagout, HazCom / SDS, and machine guarding instead of assuming every number is the construction 6-foot rule.

Step 3 — Practice without cheating yourself

This lab’s OSHA 30-style construction mock is 50 original questions, 35 to pass. The OSHA 10-style mock is 25 questions, 18 to pass. Fall protection (15 questions) is free. The rest of the 808-item bank is $9.99 for 30 days on this device.

Read every explanation. A guessed green check does not help you on the trainer’s test. California: confirm Cal/OSHA Title 8 when your site is stricter than federal OSHA.
