OSHA 10-Hour Construction Course - Training & Certificate

The OSHA 10-Hour Construction course includes 10 modules covering the core safety topics required by the OSHA Outreach Training Program, such as the Focus Four Hazards and Personal Protective Equipment. Each module ends with a quiz that must be passed with a score of at least 70% before moving forward.

The OSHA 10 Construction course’s final exam is 20 questions long. You’ll need to get at least 14 questions correct to meet the 70% score requirement, but you’ll have three tries to get it right.  

We’ll help you prepare for the final exam with a quiz at the end of each of the OSHA 10 modules. End-of-module quizzes are 10 questions each.

OSHA designed its 10-hour Outreach courses to serve as an orientation to workplace safety for non-supervisory workers. It's a consistent but flexible training program that can be tailored to the worker's environment and job.

OSHA 10 doesn't fulfill or replace required OSHA training, but many employers require an OSHA 10 card because it gives everyone a solid foundation to build on. This is especially true in Construction, which has one of the highest incidents of occupational injury, illness, and death.

Aside from employer requirements, sometimes an OSHA 10 card is a legal requirement for Construction work. For all these reasons, an OSHA 10 card can also be a good investment for a construction worker looking for a job. Many employers will give hiring preference to candidates with a DOL card, even if they don't require it. 

You’ll be able to access your OSHA 10 course materials up to 180 days from your date of course enrollment. After that, you’ll need to purchase the course again to regain access.

You will receive your plastic official OSHA DOL card as soon as two (2) weeks after you complete your course and survey. The card is mailed to the mailing address in your profile. The DOL card provides proof of training for completion of 10 hours of training for the online OSHA 10-Hour Construction Course.

Once you successfully complete the course a pop-up will appear and you can print or download the certificate of completion to your computer, smartphone, or tablet. While you're waiting for your DOL card to arrive, you can use the certificate of completion as proof you have successfully completed the course.

As far as OSHA is concerned, OSHA 10 cards don't expire. However, jurisdictions or employers that require it typically set a refresher period (often 3-5 years).

While OSHA doesn't require additional training, keeping employees up-to-date on workplace standards are considered employer responsibilities.

Since the refresher period varies, your DOL card will simply have an issue date, not an expiration date. You can use the issue date to check whether your OSHA 10 card is still valid for your needs.

The OSHA 10 Construction test is generally considered manageable for most participants who have actively engaged with the course material. 

The test covers the fundamental topics discussed during the course, such as fall protection, electrical safety, and PPE. It primarily focuses on knowledge comprehension and practical application of safety practices.  

Moreover, the test typically consists of multiple-choice questions, which assess the understanding of key concepts and the ability to apply safety practices in various scenarios.  

The passing score is generally set at 70%. If a participant does not pass the test on the first attempt, you will usually have a total of three opportunities to take the test.  

While the test requires a good understanding of the safety principles taught during the course, it is designed to be accessible to all construction workers who are committed to learning and applying these important safety measures.
