OSHA Education Center and the University of South Florida unveil enhanced OSHA construction safety training

OSHA Education Center and the University of South Florida (USF) have expanded their mission to ensure the safety of construction professionals with the launch of an enhanced 10-Hour Construction Safety Training course.

OSHA Education Center is a leading provider of occupational safety and health digital training and the University of South Florida (USF) is an OSHA-authorized online Outreach training provider. This new course is designed to meet the latest Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and offers cutting-edge content, video simulations and mobile-friendly features. This comes at a time when construction-related injuries and fatalities are at an all-time high, making it crucial to provide workers with the highest-quality education that helps them perform their jobs as safely as possible.

"Our upgraded 10-Hour Construction course offers learners state-of-the-art digital training to navigate a broad range of hazards and regulations on the job," said Andrew Marks, vice president of product. "With more than three times the number of deaths occurring in construction than any other industry, it's more critical than ever that outreach training programs step up to meet the needs of today's workers."

The course is specifically designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of construction safety practices, focusing on how to identify and mitigate common jobsite hazards. The new virtual format makes it accessible and convenient, ensuring workers can prioritize safety from anywhere.

"We invite you to take the training to learn about common safety and health hazards at the jobsite and elevate your knowledge and skills regarding occupational safety and health," said Mylene Kellerman, rogram director at the USF OSHA Training Institute Education Center.

OSHA Education Center and USF will continue to roll out enhanced workplace safety and compliance solutions in 2025. Visit OSHA Education Center's website to learn more about the OSHA outreach 10-Hour Construction Safety Training course.
