Overview

UL Solutions

This training covers a variety of construction safety and health hazards a worker may encounter at a construction site, emphasizing hazard identification, avoidance, control, and prevention, rather than OSHA standards.

Employers who have trained their workers with the OSHA Outreach Program for Construction have seen reductions of up to 66% in lost-time injuries.

Through this training, OSHA helps ensure workers are more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and contribute to our nation's productivity.

OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. When required by OSHA standards, workers must receive additional training on the specific hazards of the job.

Course Format

The format of this course is quite different from other Safety Unlimited courses and can be learned by viewing the Quick Start Tutorial on the first page of each content lesson. The tutorial is not required, but highly recommended.

Updated OSHA Policies

OSHA has issued a new policy that limits all OSHA Outreach Training (classroom and online) to a maximum of 7.5 hours of training per day in all OSHA 30 Hour courses. As a result, all 30 Hour courses must be delivered over a minimum of four days.

OSHA has also issued a new policy of Program Jurisdiction Restrictions. Outreach Training Programs are now limited to OSHA jurisdiction only. Student course completion cards can only be issued to students within U.S. jurisdiction (the 50 States and certain U.S. Territories).

180 Days To Complete

Students have 180 days to complete the training from the time they enroll in the course. When a course EXPIRES, the student will no longer have access to the course and any course progress will be lost. There can be no extensions for the OSHA Outreach titles.

Free Reset Eligibility

If a student fails an OSHA 10 or 30 hour online quiz or the final exam, we allow a single free reset for all learners.

Eligibility for a free reset is granted if the student fails either a quiz or the final exam, but not both. The course is locked when a student fails a section and will not allow them to continue with the course. If the student fails any section and has not used their one free reset, please contact our customer service team and we will reset the course.

If a student is unable to complete their course due to either the OSHA 6-month regulation or the 1-year access period, no-reset or additional free access will be granted.

Reset Consequences

If a free reset is issued, the student's entire progress historically will be lost. The student will be required to restart the course from the very beginning.
