OSHA 10 Hour Training & Certification:
Based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) 1926 construction industry standards, this course is intended to educate workers about the purpose of OSHA, and a safe worksite. The course also raises a workers level of awareness about basic safety and health hazards that may be present at the job-site.
This course is comprised of several modules that must add up to a total of 10 hours classroom time. New rules implemented by OSHA also require the training be spread over two days, with 7.5 hours maximum time spent training in one day. Some topics are mandatory, such as the history and purpose of OSHA, basic electrical safety, personal protective equipment (PPE), and fall protection / prevention. The balance of the class is comprised of topics, like scaffolds, excavation safety, ladders and stairways, and tool / equipment safety, that are chosen by the customer.
Al trainees who successfully complete this training receive their OSHA 10 hour construction industry outreach training card. This course (and wallet card) is required by the states of New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Missouri, to work on most publicly funded construction sites, and by the state of Nevada to work on any construction site.

What Topics Are Covered?
The training includes a combination of topics that are mandatory, elective and optional. Each of the three industry categories has a specific set of topics. The mandatory topics are required and must be conducted for the minimum amount of time specified by OSHA. These topics are determined by OSHA. The elective topics are chosen by the trainer from an OSHA-provided list of industry topics. The topics selected to be covered in the class will be based on industry, locality and the audience's needs. OSHA requires that a minimum number of these topics be taught. In addition, there is a specified minimum amount of time that must be devoted to these elective topics.
The optional topics supplement the mandatory and elective topics. OSHA 10 optional topics give the trainer flexibility to adjust the content to meet site specific needs while fulfilling the ten hour training time requirements. If optional topics are not covered, additional time must be spent on the mandatory or elective topics such that a full ten hours of training is delivered.
Is There Proof of Completion for OSHA 10?
When the training is complete the trainers send documentation of the training to their Authorizing Training Organization. At the end of the class, students are typically given a course completion certificate. OSHA 10 cards will be issued shortly after the completion of the course. This card is wallet sized and is the official proof that the course was completed. With the exception of cards issued in Nevada, OSHA 10 cards do not have an expiration date. OSHA 10 cards issued in Nevada must be renewed every five years.
