OSHA-10 Construction: Fatal Accidents and Applied Skills

December 7 - 10, 2021 (Hybrid - Online & In-Person)

There were 1,061 construction worker fatalities in the United States in 2019, averaging 3 workers a day. OSHA-10 Construction is an essential course for all construction workers to recognize and reduce job site hazards.

​This hybrid, online and in-person training will instill safety awareness, with an emphasis on hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention. You'll gain knowledge and hands-on experience with the fatal four: falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in or between at the COEH workplace simulation center, where you'll have an opportunity to practice lock-out tag-out, and to identify simulated safety hazards. You'll also explore topics including: personal protective equipment (PPE) and lifesaving equipment; health hazards in construction; excavations; materials handling, storage, use, and disposal; scaffolds; hand and power tools and machine guarding; ergonomics; and more. 

​Upon completion of this course, you will receive a 10-Hour Construction Outreach course completion card and completion certificate.
