What is an OSHA-10 Hour Training Course?

OSHA-10 is a general safety course that is designed for entry-level workers. We offer two different programs within this course: Construction Industry and General Industry. For all construction workers, we recommend completing the Construction Industry program of our OSHA-10 course. It will cover the following:

• Hazard identification,
• How to control, prevent and avoid hazards,
• Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
• Health Hazards,
• Lifesaving Equipment, and
• Electrical, Tools, and Fall Protection within a construction zone.

Benefits of the OSHA-10 Training Course

Training courses offer a number of benefits to employees and construction teams. Creation World Safety believes these are the most notable benefits:

Safety: The safety of workers should be every construction company’s number one priority. When workers are better trained on machinery and workplace protocol, the work environment will be safer and there will be fewer accidents. The OSHA-10 course will focus on four safety-related hazards: fall from height, being struck by an object, caught-in/between, and electrocution. Studies have shown that when employees complete an OSHA-10 training course, accidents on the job decrease by up to 60%.

Productivity: OSHA-10 training optimizes the skills of construction workers, allows employees to share ideas, and to better utilize resources while on the job. These result in a more productive construction team.

Collaboration: OSHA-10 courses have components of communication, working in a team, and creating goals as a team. Construction workers can benefit from this collaborative work and get jobs done more efficiently and effectively by working with their fellow workers.
