The OSHA 30 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Online Training course is designed for construction industry workers with safety-related job responsibilities. The purpose of this course is to provide such workers with a greater depth of understanding and knowledge of workplace safety and health hazards and best practices to prevent or minimize accidents and injuries at construction sites and to construction workers.
The OSHA 30 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Training Program will also provide information on what OSHA requires of you and your employees, including information about hazard communication, GHS, safety inspections, and recordkeeping.
This 30 Hour OSHA Outreach Training Program is voluntary, meaning, it does not meet the training requirements contained in any OSHA standard. However, some states and local jurisdictions, employers, and unions have designated OSHA Outreach Training as mandatory for workers to fulfill their desired safety training goals.
Participants who successfully complete this course will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. This card will be provided by UL EHS Sustainability.
OSHA Outreach courses are provided in partnership with UL PureSafety, an OSHA-authorized online Outreach provider.Click here to enroll in this course.

IMPORTANT NOTE
It is important to remember that this OSHA 30 Hour Construction Industry Outreach Online Training Program provides more detailed information and knowledge on the occupational safety and health hazards and safe work practices for preventing workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Employees may also need additional site-specific and hands-on training when required by OSHA standards.
It is ultimately the responsibility of the employer to provide adequate training to employees depending on their job type and experience and to meet OSHA requirements in the process.
This course does not cover any OSHA regulatory standards. It is a voluntary OSHA outreach training program for the construction industry and provides training for workers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplace.
This training will help participants develop a general understanding of the OSHA 29 CFR 1926 standards to prevent construction-related injuries and accidents.
After enrolling for this course, you can complete the course on your own schedule and at your own pace. However, as per OSHA rules, after you launch this course for the first time, you must finish it, including the survey, within 6 months.
Please note that OSHA only allows for 7 ½ hours of training in a 24-hour period.
Yes, you can download a course completion certificate once you have successfully completed the course and scored 70% or higher on your final exam.
As this is an Outreach Training program, you will receive an OSHA 30 completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor on the successful completion of this course. This card will be provided by UL EHS Sustainability.
- Although the OSHA 30 Card does not expire, it is recommended to re-take the OSHA 30 Outreach training every 3-4 years to remain updated as OSHA changes/updates its regulations frequently.
- Some employers may have their own renewal requirements, so this may require you to re-take the course as per their specifications.
- Some states also require workers to re-take the OSHA 30 outreach training and renew their OSHA 30 Cards. So, personnel employed in these states must follow state renewal requirements for the OSHA 30 outreach training and the OSHA 30 Card. For instance, New York state requires personnel to renew their OSHA 30 outreach training every 5 years.
A replacement card can only be issued for a course taken within the last five years and only one replacement card may be issued per student per class.
