Demonstrate Mastery: OSHA 10 Certification

Demonstrate Mastery

This is your mastery demonstration week. You will complete your OSHA 10 General Industry certification. Your journeyman will evaluate your readiness and verify your completion. This certification is a real credential — treat it accordingly.

This Month’s Wrap-Up

Month 1: OSHA and Electrical Safety in Sign Fabrication

Over the past three weeks you researched OSHA fundamentals, studied the specific safety standards and electrical rules that govern sign fabrication work, walked the CN Signs shop floor to identify real hazards, and demonstrated correct PPE selection and use. This final week brings it together. OSHA 10 certification is the industry baseline for safety knowledge. Earning it means you’ve demonstrated the foundational awareness every Sign Specialist is expected to carry on the job.

Competency — Core

  • Identify and classify hazards in a sign fabrication environment using OSHA General Industry standards
  • Select and correctly use PPE appropriate to fabrication and electrical tasks
  • Apply OSHA electrical safety rules — including LOTO, GFCI use, and safe work practices — to sign shop operations

Demonstrate & Document

Action:

Your journeyman or supervisor will observe and evaluate your ability to demonstrate this competency in your normal work environment and score your performance using the CraftED Competency Evaluation Form.

What you will demonstrate:
  1. Complete all required OSHA 10 General Industry course modules through an employer-approved provider
  2. Pass the OSHA 10 final assessment and receive your completion card or certificate
  3. Review your Week 3 hazard identification findings with your journeyman and confirm that any identified hazards have been addressed or reported
  4. Discuss with your journeyman: What are the three most important safety rules for a first-year apprentice at CN Signs, and why?

SECTION 3 — ASSIGNMENT

  • Complete Your OSHA 10 Training — Access the OSHA 10 General Industry course through the employer-approved provider. Complete all required modules. Do not skip sections — all content must be completed to receive the official card. — If you have not yet received access information for the OSHA 10 provider, contact your supervisor immediately. Do not wait until the end of the week.
  • Pass the OSHA 10 Assessment — Complete the final assessment for the OSHA 10 course. A passing score is required to receive your completion card. If you do not pass on the first attempt, review the failed sections and retake as permitted by the provider. — Once you pass, save a copy of your completion certificate or card to submit with this assignment. Your journeyman must also receive a copy for your apprenticeship file.
  • Journeyman Debrief and Sign-Off — Schedule a 10–15 minute debrief with your journeyman. Walk through your Week 3 hazard list and confirm the status of each item. Then answer the discussion question: What are the three most important safety rules for a first-year apprentice at CN Signs, and why? — Your journeyman will complete the Month 1 Mastery Evaluation form, rating your performance against each criterion. Both you and your journeyman must sign the form before submission.
  • Submit Your Completion Documentation — Upload your OSHA 10 completion certificate or card image and your journeyman-signed Mastery Evaluation form through this lesson. — Name your files using the convention below. Incomplete submissions will not be accepted as meeting the mastery requirement for this module.

Your submission for this section:
Both the OSHA 10 completion certificate and the signed Journeyman Mastery Evaluation form are required to mark this module complete. Missing either document means the competency has not been demonstrated.

Section 4: Evaluation Rubric

Criterion Exceeds (4) Meets (3) Approaches (2) Needs Support (1)
OSHA 10 Certification Completion OSHA 10 completed and certificate submitted before the week 4 deadline. Apprentice can reference specific OSHA standards by topic area during debrief without prompting. OSHA 10 completed with passing score and completion certificate submitted by the deadline. OSHA 10 completed but certificate not submitted on time, or journeyman notes the apprentice required significant review support to pass. OSHA 10 not completed by deadline, or assessment not passed within the available attempt window.
Hazard Recognition Retention During debrief, apprentice independently identifies additional hazards beyond the Week 3 walk and can link each to a specific OSHA standard without prompting. During debrief, apprentice accurately reviews all Week 3 hazards, confirms their status, and correctly classifies each hazard type. Apprentice recalls most hazards from Week 3 but requires journeyman prompting to classify or confirm status of 2 or more items. Apprentice cannot accurately recall or classify the hazards identified during the Week 3 shop walk without significant journeyman assistance.
Electrical Safety Knowledge Apprentice accurately explains LOTO, GFCI, and electrical panel rules and connects each to a real scenario from their CN Signs shop experience without prompting. Apprentice correctly explains the purpose and basic procedure for LOTO, GFCI requirements, and safe electrical work practices when asked during debrief. Apprentice can define LOTO and GFCI but struggles to explain procedures correctly or connect them to shop-specific scenarios. Apprentice cannot accurately explain LOTO or GFCI requirements and shows significant gaps in electrical safety knowledge.
Safety Culture Discussion Apprentice provides three specific, shop-relevant safety rules and can articulate the consequence — injury, OSHA citation, or workflow disruption — of ignoring each one. Shows genuine ownership of safety responsibilities. Apprentice identifies three relevant safety rules for a first-year apprentice and provides a reasonable explanation of why each matters at CN Signs. Apprentice identifies two or three rules but explanations are generic, not specific to the sign fabrication environment, or show limited understanding of consequences. Apprentice struggles to identify three relevant safety rules or cannot explain why they matter in the context of their actual work.
