    I am a Quality Manager and like most of us we are tasked with being a safety coordinator also. DO you have to certified to do the safety training in the organization?

    No you don't have to be certified to do safety training in your organization. Although there are training such as those that are required for Safety Officers to complete that must be provided by accredited safety consultants or training organizations.

    It is not required but getting an OSHA 10-hour card, or a 30-hour card if you can might be very helpful. Safety is a big subject, a world of its own. Your state's Department of Labor might have a program to help companies access workplace safety training.
