What a certificate does — and doesn’t — mean
Straight answers for employers and safety managers.
A verified certificate shows
- The certificate was issued by Black Belt Safety
- The code matches a completion in our records
- The worker finished the course and passed its quiz
It is not
- An OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card (those come only from OSHA-authorized trainers)
- A replacement for your site-specific training
- A competent-person designation — under 29 CFR 1926.32(f) the employer designates competent persons

Questions
Where do I find the certificate code?
It’s printed along the bottom of the certificate. Learners can also download their certificates any time from My Hub.
The code says “No certificate found.” What now?
Check for typos (letters vs. numbers like O and 0). If it still fails, ask the worker for the original certificate file or contact us and we’ll look it up.
The name on a certificate is misspelled.
Learners can fix small spelling mistakes themselves from their account. Bigger name changes are reviewed by our team — send us a request.
Is Black Belt Safety affiliated with OSHA?
No. Black Belt Safety is an independent training provider and is not affiliated with or endorsed by OSHA or the U.S. Department of Labor. Our certificates record completion of training.
