The OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety and Health Course is a training program developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to educate entry-level construction workers on recognizing and preventing job-related hazards. This course provides a broad overview of essential safety and health topics relevant to construction sites. It typically takes about 10 hours to complete and is often delivered over two days. The curriculum includes mandatory topics such as an introduction to OSHA, workers’ rights, employer responsibilities, and procedures for filing a complaint. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to the "Focus Four Hazards" -falls, electrocutions, struck-by incidents, and caught-in/between hazards, which are the leading causes of fatalities in construction. Other areas covered may include personal protective equipment (PPE), health hazards in construction, materials handling, hand and power tools, scaffolding, stairways and ladders, and other job-specific topics depending on the trainer’s discretion.

Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive an official OSHA 10-Hour card from the U.S. Department of Labor, which serves as proof of basic safety training but is not a professional license. The course can be taken either in-person through authorized instructors or online via OSHA-authorized training providers. It's important to verify that the provider is officially approved by OSHA, as there are many unofficial or fraudulent courses online. The cost for the course typically ranges from $60 to $100 for online versions, while in-person pricing may vary depending on location and provider. The OSHA 10-Hour course is widely recognized in the construction industry and often required by employers or contractors to ensure that all workers have a foundational understanding of construction site safety.
