The OSHA Construction Industry Outreach Training Program is intended to provide an entry-level construction worker’s general awareness on recognizing and preventing hazards on a construction site.

OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1926. Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of the job. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an OSHA Construction Outreach DOL course completion card within 2 weeks.
