OSHA 30-Hour Construction Industry Training


More In-Depth Hazard-Awareness Training for Supervisors and Workers With Safety Responsibilities

The OSHA 30-Hour Construction course provides a greater depth and variety of construction safety and health training than the 10-hour course. It is primarily intended for supervisors and workers with safety responsibilities.

Participants examine hazard recognition, avoidance, control, and prevention while learning about workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file an OSHA complaint.

Tampa Bay Training offers open-enrollment and private classes through onsite or live online instruction.

Price: $500 per participant Instructional time: 30 hours over at least 4 calendar days Maximum class size: 20 participants Completion document: OSHA student course completion card


Who Should Attend?

The OSHA 30-Hour Construction course is primarily intended for:

  • Supervisors and managers
  • Foremen and crew leaders
  • Safety coordinators and employees with safety responsibilities
  • Construction and infrastructure professionals
  • Public works and utility leaders responsible for construction activities
  • Employees whose organizations or project owners require an OSHA 30-Hour Construction card

This course provides broader hazard-awareness education. It does not make a participant an OSHA-authorized trainer or replace employer-provided training required by a specific OSHA standard.


What Participants Will Learn

Required subject areas include:

  • Workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and filing an OSHA complaint
  • Managing safety and health
  • OSHA Focus Four construction hazards:
    • Falls
    • Electrocution
    • Struck-by hazards
    • Caught-in or between hazards
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Health hazards in construction
  • Stairways and ladders

Representative elective topics may include:

  • Permit-required confined spaces

  • Motor vehicles and mechanized equipment
  • Signs, signals, and barricades

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


Schedule and Attendance

The OSHA 30-Hour Construction course requires at least 30 student contact hours. OSHA limits Outreach training to a maximum of 7.5 student contact hours per calendar day, so the course must be conducted over at least four calendar days.

Tampa Bay Training normally schedules the course over four full training days. Breaks, meals, attendance, and administrative activities do not count toward the required 30 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 appropriate for 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 30-Hour Construction class for your organization.

  • Onsite or live online delivery
  • $500 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 coordinate the proposed dates, delivery format, instructor availability, participant count, location, technology, travel, and complete quote.


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 30-Hour Construction course provides 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. Completing this course does not authorize a participant to teach OSHA Outreach classes.


Frequently Asked Questions

Should I take OSHA 10 or OSHA 30?

OSHA 10 is primarily intended for entry-level workers seeking foundational hazard-awareness training. OSHA 30 is primarily intended for supervisors and workers with safety responsibilities and covers a greater depth and variety of topics.

Can OSHA 30 be completed in three days?

No. OSHA limits Outreach training to 7.5 student contact hours per calendar day. The 30-hour course therefore requires at least four calendar days.

Is the class offered online?

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

Does an OSHA 30 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.

Is self-paced OSHA 30 available?

HSI self-paced OSHA 30-Hour Construction and General Industry courses in English and Spanish are coming soon.
