OSHA 10-Hour Construction training is an awareness-level safety course developed through OSHA’s Outreach Training Program. The goal is simple: help construction workers recognize common jobsite hazards and understand their rights and responsibilities related to workplace safety. It gives workers a practical safety foundation that employers trust and often require.
If you are new to construction or working in a hands-on role without supervisory duties, OSHA 10 is typically the right place to start.
