What is the OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach course?

Our 'OSHA 10 Hour Construction Industry Outreach' course is designed to teach an entry level worker about workplace safety specifically for the construction industry. This web-based curriculum is designed in line with OSHA's recommendations for the 10-Hour Construction Outreach Training Program. It underscores how to recognize, avoid, abate, and prevent occupational hazards in the construction industry. Aside from an orientation to construction-related safety and health issues at work, these training modules tackle OSHA regulations, employer responsibilities, and even workers rights. OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers to reduce injuries and save lives. Workers must receive additional site specific training where required by OSHA standards. Industry experts have created this 10-hour outreach training program with entry-level construction workers in mind. The course is usually taken to satisfy regulatory and employment requirements in the construction sector.
