FAQs

Who needs a construction safety orientation?

A construction safety orientation is aimed at new and inexperienced construction workers, laborers, apprentices and subcontractor crews arriving on a jobsite. Experienced workers moving to a new site also benefit. The 24-minute English video features construction safety specialist Bob Synnett explaining jobsite hazards and how workers can protect themselves.

Which OSHA rules apply to construction safety training?

OSHA's construction standards in 29 CFR 1926 apply, and 1926.21(b)(2) requires employers to instruct each employee in recognizing and avoiding unsafe conditions. Topic rules include Subpart E for PPE, K for electrical, L for scaffolds, M for fall protection, P for excavations and X for ladders.

Is a construction safety orientation the same as an OSHA 10 card?

No, a construction safety orientation is not the same as an OSHA 10 card. The 10-hour card comes only through the OSHA Outreach Training Program with an authorized trainer. A short orientation video is a useful jobsite introduction, but it does not earn an Outreach card.

What are the biggest hazards on a construction site?

The biggest construction site hazards are OSHA's Focus Four: falls, struck-by incidents, caught-in or caught-between incidents, and electrocution. Falls are the leading cause of construction worker deaths. Excavation cave-ins, ladder and scaffold misuse, and missing PPE also contribute to many serious injuries.

What PPE do construction workers need?

Construction workers typically need a hard hat, safety glasses, high-visibility clothing and sturdy work boots, plus gloves suited to the task. Hearing protection, face shields, respirators and fall arrest harnesses are added when the job's hazards call for them. Employers must provide required PPE and make sure it is used.
