Governing Regulations
Workplace safety and health in the construction industry are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA is a U.S. federal agency dedicated to ensuring safe and healthful working conditions by setting and enforcing standards, as well as providing training, outreach, education, and assistance. These regulations are designed to protect workers from hazards such as falls from heights, electrocution, caught-in/between incidents, and struck-by hazards.
The United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) compiles the rules and regulations of the U.S. government, including those enforced by OSHA. OSHA’s regulations for construction are primarily found in Title 29 of the CFR, Part 1926, which is divided into various subparts addressing specific safety and health topics.
Key governing regulations for construction include:
- 29 CFR Part 1926 – Construction Safety Standards
- Fall Protection (Subpart M) – For working at heights
- Electrical Safety & Hazard Communication – Requirements for identifying electrical hazards and ensuring proper labeling, training, and protective measures to prevent workplace injuries
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Guidelines – Guidelines for selecting and using appropriate PPE to protect workers

OSHA mandates a minimum of 10 hours of direct instruction for online OSHA Outreach courses. Time spent on quizzes, tests, and the final exam is not included in this 10-hour requirement. Therefore, the total course duration may exceed 10 hours, depending on your learning pace. Daily progress limits may also affect the overall completion time.
OSHA Policies to Note
OSHA limits all OSHA Outreach Training to a maximum of 7.5 hours training per day in all OSHA 10-Hour courses. As a result, all 10-Hour courses must be delivered over a minimum of two days.
OSHA also defines Program Jurisdiction Restrictions. Outreach Training Programs are limited to OSHA Jurisdiction only. Student course completion cards can only be issued for students within U.S. jurisdiction (the 50 States and certain U.S. Territories).
You must complete this training within 180 days.
Your DOL card doesn't technically expire. However, since OSHA regulations are regularly updated, we recommend refreshing your training every 3 to 4 years. Your employer or local jurisdiction may also require more frequent retraining, so it's best to check their specific requirements.
