OSHA 10-hour training is recommended for all employees working in the Construction Industry. It is an entry-level course designed to teach individuals to recognize hazards and prevent injury and illness in the workplace. A Department of Labor (DOL) OSHA 10-hour card will be provided within 6 weeks to all students who successfully complete the 10-hour course (This is an OSHA Outreach time frame that is the same for all trainers). Upon immediate completion of the training, students will receive cards certifying that they completed the class. If you are a supervisor or an employee with safety responsibilities, we recommend the OSHA 30-hour training course.
Our courses are accepted in all 50 states and satisfy all requirements of CFR 1926 for your OSHA 10-hour card.
While OSHA 10/30 cards do not expire, the standards do change. Some states or municipalities require training to be within 3-5 years. Certain contracts will require this as well.
Our recommendation is to renew the training at least every 5 years. Even if the information has not changed at all, it is asking a lot to expect the information to be retained.
Some annual training IS MANDATORY. Let us help you assess your needs and determine a training program that keeps your employees trained and your company in compliance.
Training conducted in the state of KY will cover the differences between state specific requirements and the Federal OSHA.
Joshua Stockwell, CSP, ARM, Owner of JLS Risk Management will conduct all training. In some circumstances, Joshua may bring in a subject matter expert, but Joshua will still be there.
Joshua grew up in Western KY and attended Murray State University. He has been in the industry for over 16 years and has been both a Safety Director for international construction firms and a Risk Control Specialist for a construction insurance carrier with territory of Ohio, IN, and KY.
You have likely seen resources for online OSHA training. We truly love technology, and in very limited circumstances, online training can work. But when you are paying for training, be certain that employees are able to ask the questions from an industry veteran. Will the worker be able to relate what they learn to the work you do?
OSHA allows some leeway regarding topics covered. On-site training can be tailored for your specific needs. The training topics for an electrical contractor could differ from a street/road contractor.
If you do not have enough individuals to make on-site training competitive for pricing, let us work out a solution with some of our other clients to combine students.
