Construction Concrete and Masonry
Online Training Certification Course
29 CFR 1926 Subpart Q
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
This course presents an overview of concrete and masonry standards for construction, the different operations involved, and the hazards present at a construction site.
You will learn about the hazards of concrete slab work and masonry construction. Construction safety is regulated by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). Understanding OSHA regulations provides insight into the dangers of construction work and worksites, and helps employers and workers take the steps necessary to work smart and stay safe.
This course is for:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is committed to helping construction workers understand the hazards they face. In addition, OSHA wants employees to understand employer responsibilities for protecting workers from workplace hazards.
Case Study:
In 2017 in downtown Oakland, California, construction workers were injured when the building they were working on partially collapsed and buried the workers in wet concrete and debris. The floor had fallen out from under them, leaving several workers clinging to scaffolding and others in the wet concrete below. Fellow workers were able to quickly aid those who had fallen, helping extract them from the debris. In all, 12 workers were transported to local hospitals, and most suffered only minor injuries.

Re-training is required when:
(1) supervision and inspections indicate that the employee is not following safety-related work practices;
(2) new technology, new types of equipment, or changes in procedures necessitate the use of safety-related work practices that are different from those the employee would normally use;
(3) the employee must use safety procedures that are not normally used in his or her regular job duties. OSHA considers tasks that an employee performs less often than once a year as triggering the requirement for retraining.
