OSHA 10 HOUR TRAINING BEST PRACTICES FOR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
SEA's Safety Management Systems' OSHA 10 hour training for construction workers provides best practices to keeping everyone on the job safe, healthy and OSHA compliant.
If you work in construction, you have heard of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, otherwise known as OSHA. OSHA sets federal guidelines designed to protect employees, customers and clients; businesses are legally required to follow these guidelines. An OSHA regulation violation can lead to stiff penalties, and more importantly, can also create a hazardous, or possibly even deadly, construction zone. OSHA compliance is often complicated because of the many rules and guidelines. Without proper training on best practices for construction zone safety, infractions can become commonplace. SEA’s Safety Management Systems offers an OSHA 10 Hour training class for construction safety and health to help avoid such infractions.

California Tightens Lead Exposure Limits: What Employers Need to Know
Each year, as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) releases its list of the top 10 workplace safety violations, a pattern emerges that begs a question: Are these frequent violations a sign that employers continue to struggle with the same safety issues, or does it reflect a disposition among OSHA inspectors to focus on areas where they are trained to focus? The Persistent Issue of Repeated Findings The repetition of certain violations year after year might seem surprising, but it underscores a significant challenge in workplace safety management. The top violations tend to be those that are most visible and easiest to spot during inspections, such as fall protection and hazard communication. This consistency suggests that while awareness is high, practical implementation and adherence to safety practices lag behind. Top 10 Most Cited Health and Safety Standards of 2024 1. . Fall Protection, General Requirements: 6,307 violations For the 14th consecutive year, fall protection tops the list of OSHA's enforcement priorities. This emphasis is not arbitrary; OSHA has designated fall protection as a national emphasis area, making it a primary focus during inspections. It's often one of the easiest violations to spot without extensive investigation skills. The OSHA standard 1926.501 mandates that employers must provide fall protection systems like guardrails, safety nets, or personal fall arrest systems for workers at risk of falls of six feet or more in construction and four feet in general industry. Often, the major factor in these violations is human behavior. Many offenders might think, "No one is watching, and this will only take a moment, so it's no big deal." However, this mindset can lead to non-compliance with critical safety measures, putting worker safety at significant risk.
