The OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Online Training course is designed for entry-level construction industry workers. The underlying purpose of this course is to promote workplace safety and health by making workers more knowledgeable about common job-related hazards and the best practices to prevent or minimize them.
This OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Program will inform workers about their rights, employer responsibilities, procedures for filing a complaint, and how to recognize, abate, and prevent job-related hazards.

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important to remember that this OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Online Training Program serves as an orientation to occupational safety and health hazards and safe work practices for preventing workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Employees may also need additional site-specific and hands-on training when required by OSHA standards.
It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to provide adequate training to employees depending on their job type and experience and to meet OSHA requirements in the process.
If you are employed in or plan to start work in the construction industry, then it is important to be familiar with the health and safety hazards that are prevalent in such workplaces.
The OSHA 10 hour construction industry outreach online training is designed to familiarize workers with job-related hazards, the safe work practices to avoid or minimize these hazards, and the procedures for filing a complaint to report unsafe working conditions.
This course does not cover any OSHA regulatory standards. It is a voluntary OSHA outreach training program for the construction industry and provides training for workers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplace.
This training will help participants develop a general understanding of the OSHA 29 CFR 1926 standards to prevent construction-related injuries and accidents.
After enrolling for this course, you can complete the course on your own schedule and at your own pace. However, as per OSHA rules, after you launch this course for the first time, you must finish it, including the survey, within 6 months.
Please note that OSHA only allows for 7 ½ hours of training in a 24-hour period.
Yes, you can download a course completion certificate once you have successfully completed the course and scored 70% or higher on your final exam.
As this is an Outreach Training program, you will receive an OSHA 10 completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on the successful completion of this course. This card will be provided by UL EHS Sustainability.
- Although the OSHA 10 Card does not expire, it is recommended to re-take the OSHA 10 Outreach training every 3-4 years to remain updated as OSHA changes/updates its regulations frequently.
- Some employers may have their own renewal requirements, so this may require you to re-take the course as per their specifications.
- Some states also require construction industry workers to re-take the OSHA 10 Outreach training and renew their OSHA 10 Cards. So, construction industry personnel employed in these states must follow state renewal requirements for the OSHA 10 outreach training and the OSHA 10 Card. For instance, New York state requires construction industry personnel to renew their OSHA 10 outreach training every 5 years.
A replacement card can only be issued for a course taken within the last five years and only one replacement card may be issued per student per class.
To obtain a replacement OSHA 10 Card please contact UL EHS Sustainability.
