About the OSHA 10 Construction Practice Test

The OSHA 10-Hour Construction course is a voluntary safety orientation that teaches construction workers to recognize and avoid the most common jobsite hazards. It is based on the OSHA 29 CFR 1926 construction standards, and many employers and states require the OSHA 10 wallet card before you can work on a site.

The course centers on the Focus Four hazards (falls, struck-by, caught-in or between, and electrocution) that cause most construction deaths, plus worker rights, PPE, and hazard communication. A final test is given at the end, with the passing score, commonly 70 percent, set by your authorized trainer. This reviewer is free, self-paced practice built from the OSHA standards.
