Course Overview
The OSHA 10-hour Construction course is a 10-hour program from OSHA’s Outreach Training Program, delivered by an OSHA authorized trainer. Its purpose is simple: help workers recognize, avoid and prevent common safety and health hazards on construction sites.
The course also covers worker rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint with OSHA. Students who complete the course receive an official U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) course completion card provided by your authorized Outreach trainer.
Alongside required topics, the course examines common construction hazards. These are the kinds of things covered:
The OSHA 10-hour Construction course is intended for workers entry-level and experienced alike. It provides introductory construction hazard awareness to help workers recognize, avoid, and address common jobsite safety and health hazards.
Supervisors and workers with safety responsibility are better served by the OSHA 30-hour course, which goes deeper into hazard recognition and management. See the comparison below.
One thing worth knowing: the Outreach Training Program is voluntary under federal OSHA rules, and completing it doesn’t fulfill an employer’s own OSHA-required training. However, local codes and general contractors frequently require it for example, Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) rules require all workers directly performing construction or demolition work on a permit-regulated Philadelphia site to hold an OSHA 10-Hour Construction completion card (or approved alternative) and carry proof on site. For private contractor crews, TRN OSHA also delivers OSHA 10 Construction in English and Spanish.
