The OSHA 10 Hour training course for construction is designed to help construction workers get up to speed on the basic safety and health hazards on construction sites. The OSHA 10 hour construction training course also provides students with an overview of how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) operates.
The OSHA 10 hour training course for construction is based on the OSHA 1926 standards. This OSHA 10 training course is intended for workers in construction related jobs, like new construction projects, demo operations, and large scale (major) renovation projects.
The OSHA 10 hour training course in construction standards was created by OSHA, who has authorized certain OSHA Outreach trainers to conduct this 10-hour training class for a group of workers. The OSHA 10 training construction course is presented in a classroom setting (usually spread over two consecutive days), or individual trainees can take an online OSHA 10 hour training course.
When a student successfully completes an OSHA 10 hour construction training course, they will receive the official OSHA 10 hour wallet card. The cards are accepted in all 50 states, and are also the cards needed to prove compliance with those states having mandatory OSHA 10 hour training laws.

-
