OSHA 30 Hour Training Course - Construction Version

The OSHA 30 hour training course for construction standards is designed to help foremen, supervisors, superintendents, competent persons, safety staff, safety committee members, and others with responsibility for workplace safety get up to speed on the basic OSHA health and safety regulations affecting construction workplaces. The OSHA 30 hour construction training course also provides students with an overview of how the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) functions. There are no prerequisites required to take the OSHA 30-hour construction course.  The OSHA 30 hour construction training course is available in two formats; employer sponsored on-site classes, and online.

The OSHA 30 hour training course for construction is based on the federal OSHA 1926 construction regulations, and each student at one of our on-site employer-sponsored classes will receive their own copy of the OSHA 1926 construction standards as part of their course materials. We also address state-specific OSHA requirements for trainees, where applicable. This OSHA 30 training course is intended for operations such as demolition jobs, new construction projects, and major renovation work.

The OSHA 30 hour training course in construction standards was created by OSHA, who also authorizes OSHA Outreach trainers to conduct this 30-hour construction training class for a group of trainees. The OSHA 30-training courses for construction is presented in a classroom setting (usually spread over four consecutive days), or individual trainees can take our online OSHA 30 hour construction training course at any time (yes, you can start your class right away!).
