The OSHA 10-hour course is available in two industry-specific versions: construction and general industry. To ensure you’re properly trained to avoid workplace hazards, you should take the version that best aligns with your job functions. Your employer can tell you which course will meet the training requirements for your role.
The OSHA 10-Hour Construction course is designed for entry-level workers in construction, demolition, building development and other fields in the construction industry. It includes a detailed overview of the most common risks of construction work, including fall hazards, caught-in or -between hazards, struck-by hazards and electrocution.
OSHA 10-Hour General Industry training is appropriate for workers in any industry outside of construction, agriculture or maritime. This course is ideal for workers in manufacturing, factory operations, warehousing and storage, health care and more. OSHA general industry training covers a wide range of occupational hazards, including risks related to walking and working surfaces, materials handling, bloodborne pathogens, fires, machinery and more.
