OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety Training
Thirty-hour construction safety training for supervisors and foremen, covering hazard control and employer duties under 29 CFR 1926.
What to Expect
The 30-hour construction course is written for the people responsible for other workers — superintendents, foremen, competent persons and safety leads. It covers the same Focus Four hazards as the 10-hour course but spends far more time on how to control them: written programs, inspections, the competent person's duties, and the employer obligations that sit behind each standard. If someone on your site signs off on a trench, a scaffold or a fall protection plan, this is the course for them.

Built for the person who has to make the call
A 10-hour card teaches a worker to recognise a hazard. The 30-hour course teaches a supervisor what to do about it — who is competent to inspect a trench, what a fall protection plan has to contain, when a scaffold needs to be re-inspected, and what the employer is required to document. The extra twenty hours go almost entirely into control measures and the written programs that back them up.
Competent person responsibilities
Several construction standards require a 'competent person' — someone capable of identifying hazards and authorised to correct them. The course works through what that designation actually obliges a person to do in excavations, scaffolding, fall protection and ladder safety, so the people you designate understand the responsibility rather than just the title.
What the course covers
- Managing safety and health on a construction site
- Fall protection systems, plans and the competent person's role
- Excavation and trenching — soil classification, protective systems, daily inspection
- Scaffolding erection, inspection and safe use
