It is an employer’s responsibility to provide a safe work-site that is free of hazards to employees. These courses give individuals the knowledge to identify and control hazards on the job-site. Workers become informed and conscious of their own safety and safety in their work setting. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suggests that employers offer these courses to their employees to help them assist in work-place safety. The OSHA Outreach Training Program provides training for workers and employers on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces. It also provides information regarding workers' rights and employer responsibilities. Employers who have trained their workers with the OSHA Outreach Program for Construction have seen large reductions in injuries, the costs associated with injuries, and fewer safety violations. The Outreach Training Programs are taught by an OSHA-Authorized instructor and the Kentucky Chamber selects professional, experienced experts as their instructors. Safety is a good business practice that all employers can benefit from and training is a good way to help ensure and develop that practice!

The Construction 10-Hour course will provide participants with one and a half days of intensive learning about the most significant OSHA construction topics. In this course, special emphasis is given to OSHA's Focus Four - Fatalities from Falls, Electrocution, Caught-In or between and Struck-By hazards. Course participants will learn what CFR 1926 OSHA Construction Standards apply to their company and be able to recognize hazards, protect themselves and prevent safety and health hazards. Attend this course and receive some practical and proven safety information to implement at your work-site.

The Construction 30-Hour course will provide participants with four days of in-depth and comprehensive learning about most of the OSHA topics applicable to construction. This course goes well beyond OSHA's Focus Four to look at each critical regulation in the CFR 1926 Construction Standard. It will provide an increased knowledge of safety and health hazards, how to comply with the regulations and it will offer insight into the more complicated and sometimes confusing elements of safety such as safety leadership, safety management and the development of a strong safety culture.
