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, electrocution, struck-by incidents, and caught-in/between dangers.
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

For online OSHA Outreach courses, OSHA enforces a minimum of 30 hours of direct instruction. This excludes time spent on assessments, including quizzes and the final exam. Because of this, the actual time required may exceed 30 hours, based on your learning speed. Daily progress restrictions may also affect 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 30-Hour courses must be delivered over a minimum of four 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.
Although DOL cards do not expire, it’s best practice to renew your training every 3 to 4 years due to OSHA regulation updates. Additionally, some states and employers enforce their own retraining rules. New York and Nevada, for example, require workers to complete the training again every five years. Always verify your specific renewal requirements with your employer or state agency.
