OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety Training
Ten-hour construction safety training covering the Focus Four hazards and the 29 CFR 1926 requirements entry-level crews work under.
What to Expect
The OSHA 10-hour construction course is aimed at entry-level workers and covers the hazards that cause the majority of construction fatalities. It is built around the Focus Four — falls, struck-by, caught-in or between, and electrocution — which together account for most deaths on construction sites. Many general contractors and several states require a 10-hour card before a worker sets foot on site, and we deliver the course to crews at your job site or by live virtual session.

Why the Focus Four drives the curriculum
OSHA built the outreach curriculum around the four hazard categories responsible for the largest share of construction deaths. Falls alone account for more fatalities than any other single cause in the industry. The 10-hour course spends the bulk of its time on these four, then covers the supporting topics — personal protective equipment, health hazards, and workers' rights — that give a new worker the context to recognise a hazard before it becomes an incident.
Training a crew rather than a classroom
We deliver the course onsite wherever possible, because a new worker learns fall protection faster standing next to the leading edge they will be working near than looking at a slide. Running it at your job site also means the examples, the equipment and the site conditions are the ones your crew will see the next morning.
