Training

OSHA 30-hour construction training for the people running the job.

Supervisors set the tone on a jobsite — and regulators, owners, and prequalification platforms all check whether they hold the 30-hour card. PS&M delivers OSHA 30-hour construction training, OSHA-authorized and taught at your facility or jobsite, covering the 29 CFR 1926 standards in depth — hazard recognition, safety program management, and worker rights — with an official U.S. Department of Labor card for every graduate.

What the training covers

The 30-hour construction outreach course is supervisory-level instruction in the standards that govern your jobsite — taught in depth, not skimmed:

  • OSHA regulations and enforcement — how 29 CFR 1926 is organized, how inspections and citations work, and what compliance actually requires of a supervisor
  • Construction hazard recognition — the focus-four killers (falls, struck-by, caught-in or -between, electrocution) plus scaffolds, excavations, PPE, and health hazards
  • Safety program management — planning work, correcting hazards, and building the documentation habits that prove due diligence
  • Worker rights — what the OSH Act guarantees your crews, and what supervisors are obligated to protect

This goes well beyond the awareness-level foundation of OSHA 10-hour outreach training. The 10-hour course teaches workers to recognize hazards. The 30-hour course teaches leaders to manage them.

Who needs OSHA 30-hour construction training?

Supervisors, foremen, safety personnel, and anyone who answers for site safety. Federal OSHA treats outreach training as voluntary — but Nevada mandates the 30-hour card for construction supervisors, New York City’s Local Law 196 builds supervisor requirements on it, EM 385-1-1 expects it of SSHOs on federal projects, and most owners and general contractors now write it into contracts.

The commercial pressure is just as real. Prequalification platforms like ISN and Avetta surface training records to every client who screens you. A leadership team holding current 30-hour cards is due diligence you can point to — with owners, with insurers, and with the compliance officer at your gate.

On your site, built from your work

We deliver the course at your facility or jobsite, scheduled around production — pulling supervisors off a project for a week of generic classroom training helps no one. The regulatory backbone is fixed; the examples are not. Your project types, your subcontractor mix, your incident history — never from boilerplate. Cohorts train together, argue through real scenarios from your sites, and go back to work sharper than they left.

The card, and everything behind it

Every graduate receives the official OSHA 30-hour course completion card issued through the U.S. Department of Labor — the credential prequalification reviewers and owner QA teams actually look for. Your training records finish documented, dated, and defensible.

Supervisors bound for SSHO duty on federal work need the card plus the qualifications around it. If you need the person, not just the training, our on-site safety professional staffing places EM 385-1-1-qualified SSHOs on your project.

FAQ

Questions we hear

Is OSHA 30 required by law?

Federal OSHA treats outreach training as voluntary, but the mandates arrive from everywhere else. Nevada requires the 30-hour card for construction supervisors by statute, and New York City's Local Law 196 builds its supervisor Site Safety Training requirements on it. EM 385-1-1 expects it of SSHOs on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects, and many owners and general contractors write it directly into their contracts.

What is the difference between OSHA 10 and OSHA 30?

Scope and depth. The 10-hour course gives workers awareness-level hazard recognition. The 30-hour course is built for people with supervisory responsibility — in-depth coverage of OSHA regulations, construction-specific hazards, safety program management, and worker rights. If someone directs work or answers for site safety, they belong in the 30-hour course.

Does the OSHA 30 card expire?

The Department of Labor card carries no federal expiration date. In practice, many contracts, jurisdictions, and prequalification reviewers treat cards older than five years as stale — New York City, for example, requires refresher training on a five-year cycle. When your market expects a fresh card, we retrain and redocument.

Can PS&M deliver OSHA 30 at our jobsite?

Yes — that is the default. We bring OSHA-authorized instruction to your facility or project and schedule sessions around production, because 30 hours is a real commitment for a working crew. The examples come from your operations and your subcontractors, not from a generic slide deck.

Does OSHA 30 satisfy SSHO requirements on federal projects?

It is a required element, not the whole package. EM 385-1-1 expects Site Safety and Health Officers to hold the 30-hour construction card alongside documented experience and continuing safety training. If you need the person as well as the card, PS&M also places qualified SSHOs through our on-site safety professional staffing service.
