OSHA 30 Hour for Construction Course

Course Pre-Requisite

None

Course Description

The OSHA 30 Hour for construction is designed for your worksite supervisor and safety professionals. As you probably know an OSHA 30 for Construction is now required on many job sites. It became mandatory in Nevada last year for all construction sites per Nevada Assembly Bill 148 that all construction workers have an OSHA 10 hour card and all persons supervising work have an OSHA 30 hour card. Six other states have passed similar legislation and we are seeing the same requirements on many federal sites. This is an effort to reduce workplace injuries and fatalities through education.
