Construction Safety


OSHA 10 & 30 Hour Construction Industry Course

Whether choosing the 10 or 30 Outreach program, CW Safety Consulting LLC will provide a custom presentation for you.  OSHA has set certain minimum discussions that must be covered along with electives that will suit your needs for your project.  The presentations will draw heavily from true field experience of the instructor and not merely glossing over a general power point with photos from the 80’s.  The intent of the class is to inform employees of the various hazards associated with construction and what are their rights within the working place.  By creating a better understanding as to what the minimum requirements by law are, the better your safety program can implement newer procedures to suit your needs.  We will go in depth as to what OSHA’s roles are and what to do in the event of an actual inspection.  Statistics will be discussed where most employers are cited and also review some letters of interpretation that will help you better understand what the actual standard is trying to say.  Upon completion of the class, students will receive an actual serial numbered card from OSHA within 4 weeks.  These cards never expire, and your instructor will be more than happy to review possible updates in training.  Once training has started there is a 6 month window to complete, so please contact us for a schedule that will work for you.  An OSHA Construction manual is included.
