Plumbing, electrical and fire suppression contractors, and registered Pennsylvania home improvement contractors without a separate Philadelphia license, are excluded from the OSHA 30 rule.
- Deadline
- Proof of OSHA 10 must be kept on the job site. Proof of the supervisor's OSHA 30 goes with the contractor's license application or renewal.

- Read closely
- This entry comes from the Department of Licenses and Inspections' own page, not the text of the Philadelphia Code, and that page gives no effective date. The OSHA 30 rule is tied to the license renewal cycle, not to a card expiry.
