Who Needs an OSHA 10-Hour Construction Certificate on the Job Site
Entry-level construction crews, subcontractors, and new hires without a safety credential are the core audience for NASP's OSHA 10-hour construction certificate.
Safety managers and directors also assign it as baseline training before anyone steps onto a job site, often pairing it with NASP's other construction safety courses.
Not on a Construction Site? Take the 10-Hour General Industry Instead
This course covers construction-specific hazards that don't always apply to manufacturing, warehousing, or general facility roles. If your job falls outside a construction site, NASP's 10-Hour General Industry course covers the OSHA-aligned topics built for your workplace instead.
