What the 10-hour course covers
The curriculum is set by OSHA’s Outreach Training Program. PS&M delivers it with the jobsite fluency a slide deck cannot:
- The focus four hazards — falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in/between: the four categories behind most construction fatalities
- Fall hazards and protection — the duties and systems of 29 CFR 1926 Subpart M, where OSHA’s most-cited violations live
- Electrical safety — recognition and avoidance under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K
- Personal protective equipment — selection, use, and limits under 29 CFR 1926 Subpart E
- Health hazards in construction — silica, noise, and the exposures that hurt workers slowly
- OSHA’s role, standards, and inspections — what compliance officers look for, and what workers’ rights under the OSH Act actually mean
Who needs OSHA 10-hour construction training?
Construction workers and entry-level supervisors — anyone on the tools who needs a documented safety baseline. Federal OSHA treats the Outreach card as voluntary, but a growing list of states and cities mandates it for public works, and owners, general contractors, and prequalification platforms have made it a de facto condition of site access. Underneath it all sits 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2), which requires every construction employer to train workers to recognize and avoid unsafe conditions. With or without a card, that duty is yours.
Taught on your site, on your schedule
PS&M delivers OSHA-authorized 10-hour training at your jobsite or facility, scheduled around production — Outreach rules cap daily class time, so the course runs a minimum of two days, and we build those days around your crews’ shifts. The regulatory content is fixed; the examples are not. We teach the focus four using your scopes of work, your equipment, and your site conditions — never from boilerplate.
When a worker steps up to running work, the baseline stops being enough. Foremen, superintendents, and safety personnel belong in OSHA 30-hour construction training. And because falls lead the focus four in fatalities, many clients pair the 10-hour class with dedicated fall protection training for crews working at height.
The card — and the records behind it
Every participant who completes the course receives the official OSHA 10-Hour completion card issued through the Department of Labor — the card the gate guard, the GC, and the prequalification auditor all ask for. Your training roster finishes documented, dated, and defensible.
If the card requirement surfaced a bigger question — whether your written programs, training records, and site practices would hold up under inspection — our OSHA compliance consulting answers it before a compliance officer does.
