OSHA 10-Hour Construction

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) voluntary Outreach Training Program offers important training for construction workers, supervisors, and other personnel who should be aware of general workplace safety. The OSHA 10-hour construction training course is intended to provide construction workers with a basic knowledge of the most common safety and health hazards found on many construction sites, and methods they can use to avoid those hazards. The OSHA 10-hour construction training course also provides students with an overview of how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) operates, and how employee rights are protected under the OSH Act of 1970. There is no prerequisite required to take the OSHA 10-hour construction training class.

CCA’s OSHA 10-Hour Construction course covers workplace hazards, employee rights, improving safety culture, and other key topics to prepare participants for the job site. The OSHA 10-hour training course in construction standards was created by OSHA and is based on the federal OSHA 1926 construction standards. Upon successful completion, all course participants will also earn their Department of Labor (DOL)/OSHA 10-Hour Card.
