What is OSHA 30 Construction Training?
If you work in construction, you need to know how to spot, avoid, and report the safety and health risks you encounter on a daily basis. This OSHA-30 Outreach Training for Construction ensures you understand how to navigate common job-site hazards so that you feel safe at work.
Additionally, the course will help you increase your knowledge about construction-specific safety measures under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.
For instance, this course will teach you the best practices for safeguarding against the top causes of fatalities and accidents in construction. This online course covers how to prevent slipping, tripping, getting struck by an object, electrocution, and getting caught in between objects or machinery.
You should also have an understanding of your employer’s responsibility for workplace safety, as well as the rights OSHA gives you as a worker. That’s why you’ll learn how to file a complaint if your workplace isn’t living up to its safety obligations.
What Is OSHA 30 Certification?
You may be surprised to hear that OSHA does not certify workers, meaning there’s actually no such thing as an OSHA certification. Instead, OSHA requires employers to train their employees in the specific safety and health aspects of their jobs.
That being said, the closest thing to OSHA 30 certification is OSHA Outreach training, as passing their exam results in an official Department of Labor OSHA 30 card.
Who Should Take OSHA-30 Construction Online Industry Training?
This online course is for construction foremen, supervisors, and safety directors, or anyone who works in construction and requires additional training beyond the basics.
If you don’t work in construction, but still need 30-HOUR OSHA Training I have a separate General Industry course.
