H2S and OSHA10 certifications

I have been checking the help wanted ads and a lot of them require you already have these certificates. What is the best way to obtain them? Can you take online courses? Are some of the courses a scam? Any info would be appreciated. I don't want to waste my time or money on certificates that will not be accepted.

Also, what type of osha10 do you need? Industry or construction?

 

Hello Giggles; The OSHA10 is a 10 hour course you have to sit through and they basically just tell you what stupid mistakes not to make. Common sense would cover most of it but common sense seems to be lacking in our younger generations so somebody gets $80 per person to tell you "don't do that".

I like the idea of having my own certifications so I can take them with me wherever I go. Can't hurt the resume either.

Several of the craigs list jobs in ND want you to have both H2S and OSHA10.

I would just like to hear from somebody who has done these independantly.

 

Thanks colorado; would you happen to have those links? Also, the H2S is that "H2S Alive"? From what I have been reading, Canada only recognizes that course.

There seem to be several companies online. I just want to make sure I am using the right ones.

 

Thanks colorado; I figured it would be the industrial but I didn't want to pay for the wrong one. There is a company 23 miles away who does this training for the OSHA 10. I could just go sit through it. The H2S is the one I want to learn as much as possible. I don't want to die from stupidity.
