Who Should Attend?

The OSHA 10-Hour Construction course is primarily intended for entry-level workers and others who need foundational construction hazard-awareness training.

It may be appropriate for:

  • Construction and infrastructure workers
  • Public works and utility employees performing construction activities
  • Roadway, maintenance, and field crews
  • New employees entering construction-related work
  • Employees whose organizations or project owners require an OSHA 10-Hour Construction card

The employer, project owner, or contracting organization should determine whether the Construction course is appropriate for the participant's actual work.


What Participants Will Learn

The course emphasizes:

  • Workers' rights and employer responsibilities
  • How and when to file an OSHA complaint
  • Recognizing, avoiding, controlling, and preventing job-related hazards
  • The OSHA Focus Four construction hazards:
    • Falls
    • Electrocution
    • Struck-by hazards
    • Caught-in or between hazards
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Health hazards in construction

Representative elective topics may include:

  • Excavation and trenching hazards
  • Permit-required confined spaces
  • Materials handling and storage
  • Motor vehicles, mechanized equipment, signs, signals, and barricades
  • Scaffolds
  • Stairways and ladders
  • Hand and power tools
  • Other construction safety and health topics permitted by OSHA

OSHA establishes required topics and minimum instructional times. Elective topics and work examples may be selected to reflect the audience's responsibilities and hazards while remaining within OSHA's curriculum requirements.


Schedule and Attendance

OSHA limits Outreach training to a maximum of 7.5 student contact hours per calendar day. Therefore, the OSHA 10-Hour course must be conducted over at least two calendar days.

Tampa Bay Training commonly schedules the course as:

  • Five instructional hours on each of two days; or
  • Up to 7.5 instructional hours on the first day with the remaining instructional time on the second day.

Breaks, meals, attendance, and administrative activities do not count toward the required 10 instructional hours.

Participants must attend the entire course and complete all requirements to qualify for an OSHA student course completion card.


Open-Enrollment Classes

Open-enrollment classes are available to individuals and smaller groups. Classes may be conducted onsite at a published location or through live online instruction.

OSHA generally requires at least three students in an Outreach class. Tampa Bay Training does not cancel an advertised class merely because enrollment is less profitable, but OSHA's minimum class-size requirement must be met unless an applicable exception is granted.


Private Training

Schedule a dedicated OSHA 10-Hour Construction class for your organization.

  • Onsite or live online delivery
  • $200 per participant
  • Seven-participant billing minimum
  • Maximum of 20 participants
  • Onsite travel or other approved logistical charges may apply

If fewer than seven participants attend, the base training fee is still calculated for seven. OSHA's class-size requirements also apply.

Cindy Torres will confirm the requested dates, delivery format, instructor availability, participant count, location, technology, travel, and complete price.


Live Online Requirements

Live online instruction is interactive and scheduled. It is not a self-paced course.

Each participant must:

  • Use a laptop or desktop computer; mobile devices may not be used.
  • Have a functioning camera and microphone.
  • Maintain stable internet access.
  • Keep the camera and audio available as directed.
  • Attend the entire class and actively participate.
  • Join from a location suitable for focused learning.

Live online OSHA Outreach classes are available subject to required advance coordination with our OSHA Training Institute Education Center.


Your OSHA Student Course Completion Card

After the class, Tampa Bay Training submits the required documentation and card request through the University of South Florida OSHA Training Institute Education Center. USF sends the cards to Tampa Bay Training, and Tampa Bay Training then distributes them to the client or student.

The process typically takes several weeks, although processing and delivery times may vary.

OSHA student course completion cards do not expire. An employer, union, jurisdiction, project owner, or contract may impose its own retraining or recent-card requirement.


Important Program Information

The OSHA Outreach Training Program is voluntary. The OSHA 10-Hour Construction course provides basic safety and health information and education, but it does not fulfill an employer's obligation to provide training required by a particular OSHA standard.

The OSHA student course completion card is not a certification or license.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is OSHA 10 intended for supervisors?

The course is primarily intended for entry-level workers. A supervisor or employee with safety responsibilities may benefit more from the OSHA 30-Hour Construction course.

Is the class offered online?

Yes. Tampa Bay Training offers live online instruction subject to the required advance coordination. Participants must attend at scheduled times using a laptop or desktop with a functioning camera and microphone.

Does an OSHA 10 card expire?

OSHA student course completion cards do not expire. Other organizations may establish their own retraining or recent-card requirements.

When will I receive my card?

Tampa Bay Training requests cards through USF after the class. Processing and delivery typically take several weeks but may vary.
