What Is 30-Hour OSHA Construction Training?
You need every tool you can get when you’re responsible for keeping a construction site safe and secure. Our OSHA 30-Hour Outreach Training for Construction teaches you precisely what you need to know to build a safety culture and reduce job-site accidents.
Additionally, you’ll receive a comprehensive overview of the policies, procedures, and best practices in OSHA’s 29 CFR 1926 standards for construction. The course also covers vital information about all the significant hazards found on the site.
For example, you’ll learn how to create and implement a safety and health program that addresses critical safety topics in the industry, such as stairways and ladders, confined spaces, hand and power tools, scaffolding, explosives, and blasting agents.
What Is OSHA Certification?
OSHA does not certify workers, so there is no such thing as OSHA certification. However, OSHA does mandate that employers train their employees in the specific safety and health parts of their jobs.
The closest you can get to certification is OSHA Outreach training. When you pass an OSHA 30 test, you'll receive an official Department of Labor card.
Who Should Take OSHA Construction Training?
OSHA Construction training is beneficial for workers and contractors. In its construction category, OSHA includes all work related to construction, alteration, repair, painting, and decorating. Some construction workers may need additional training for specialized work, and anyone with supervisory responsibilities should take OSHA Construction Safety Outreach Training.
Employees may need to take additional courses beyond OSHA 30-hour training to meet organization requirements, but those are ultimately employer responsibilities. OSHA 30-Hour Construction Training provides 30 hours of training on safety responsibility with an emphasis on hazard recognition of job site hazards so you can stay safe on the job site.
If you don’t work in construction, but still need 30-Hour OSHA training online, we have a separate general industry course.
