What “70% passing standard” means on the job
Outreach end-of-course assessments in this catalog use a 70 percent cut score. Falling short is not a permanent fail: remaining retake attempts let you re-test after reviewing weak modules. Employers still expect you to finish inside the access window and to respect the 7.5-hour daily seat-time cap while you study.
Three free retake attempts
This catalog describes three free exam retake attempts after an unsuccessful try. Use them to re-read Focus Four or HazCom modules instead of rushing. The live PureSafety player is controlling if a platform notice differs—always read the course rules screen after login.
180-day access limit
Access typically runs 180 days from activation. Starting late in a busy Houston or Miami season still requires finishing hours under the daily cap (OSHA 10: at least two calendar days). If your GC needs proof this week, start immediately and print the temporary certificate the day you pass.
What to do next
- Enroll the correct silo (Construction 1926 vs General Industry 1910).
- Complete contact hours with ≤7.5 hours per calendar day.
- Pass the exam at ≥70%; use retakes if needed (three free attempts in this catalog).
- Download the temporary certificate; wait for the DOL plastic card by USPS.
