What they offer
OSHA sets the Outreach Training Program requirements and authorizes trainers. The 10-Hour (entry-level workers) and 30-Hour (supervisory) construction courses are delivered by OSHA-authorized trainers in person or by OSHA-authorized online providers. OSHA publishes the program requirements and the authorized online provider list free of charge.
Why it matters for pavement contractors
Pavement crews work on active construction sites and in public rights-of-way where a 10-Hour card is commonly requested by GCs and owners; crew leaders and foremen are typically expected to hold the 30-Hour card.
Pricing
OSHA charges nothing for the program materials or the provider list. Course fees are set by each authorized trainer or online provider (see ClickSafety, 360training, HSI).
