OSHA 30 - Construction Industry
The OSHA 30-Hour Construction course is a comprehensive safety program specifically designed for foremen, superintendents, project managers, safety directors, and crew leaders. Grounded strictly in OSHA 29 CFR 1926 standards, this advanced course goes far beyond basic hazard awareness—it equips your leadership team with the critical tools required to implement structural safety programs, manage jobsite risk, and build an unshakeable culture of compliance.
Delivered live by an authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer, our interactive classroom instruction transforms dense federal regulations into practical, management-level strategies that protect your workers, safeguard your company from liability, and keep major projects moving forward on schedule.
Core Curriculum Breakdown
To meet federal Outreach Training Program guidelines, the 30-hour curriculum expands deeply into risk management, combining mandatory high-level safety leadership topics with an extensive selection of customizable electives tailored to your company's operational scope.
