What's in the Training Course?

Our OSHA 10-Hour Equivalent: Construction Industry training course is regulation compliant, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class covers 6 hours of the mandatory topics required by OSHA, including an introduction to OSHA; the Focus Four Hazards including falling, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in between hazards; personal protective equipment; and ergonomic health hazards.

This course also addresses 2 hours of the following elective topics: hand and power tools, excavations, and cranes. It also covers heavy machinery, scaffolding, lockout/tagout, and ladders and stairways for the final 2 hours of optional training topics.

During this training, we will provide you with a general understanding of the safety principles for each topic included in this course. However, while this training provides general awareness of the topics discussed, we do not cover each topic to their full extent. In order to be considered certified for the individual topics in this training, you will need to take a full training course for each separate topic.

Though you will still need to familiarize yourself with all other applicable federal, state, and local standards, this training encompasses the following laws and regulations for each topic:
