OSHA 10 Construction or General Industry: Which to Buy?
The two 10-hour courses cover different worksites. Under 29 CFR 1910.12, construction work means building, altering or repairing, and that is what decides which course your crew needs, not the industry your company is classified in.
- OSHA 10 Hour Construction. This course. For crews doing construction work: building, altering, repairing, painting and decorating. Each learner receives a Department of Labor 10-hour construction card after completion.
- OSHA 10 Hour General Industry. For crews whose work sits under the general industry standards: warehouses, plants, shops and service sites. Same 10-hour Outreach structure and the same Department of Labor card, with the hazards drawn from general industry. View the OSHA 10 Hour General Industry
- OSHA 10 Hour Construction - Spanish. The same construction course delivered in Spanish, ending in the same Department of Labor card. Use it for learners who prefer to train in Spanish. View the OSHA 10 Hour Construction - Spanish
- OSHA 30 Hour Construction. The 30-hour class is built for supervisors, foremen and workers who carry some safety responsibility. Use that page when you are deciding for a foreman or site lead. View the OSHA 30 Hour Construction
Choose by the work being performed, not by the employer industry label. If the work involves building, altering or repairing, choose OSHA 10 Hour Construction. eTraining lists the related Outreach options in the OSHA training catalog.
