To enhance their knowledge and skills in managing workplace hazards and to help ensure a safe working environment, OSHA recommends that entry-level workers complete the OSHA 10 Hour courses, while those in supervisory positions take the OSHA 30 Hour courses. Most employers prefer candidates who have a fundamental understanding of workplace safety regulations.
In Missouri, OSHA training is mandated for construction workers involved in projects funded by public support. The Construction Safety Training Act enforces the OSHA 10 Hour Site Safety training, which must be completed through OSHA-approved course providers. This requirement applies to:
Employees directly involved in construction operations at the job site
Workers at nearby facilities contracted by the construction employer
Personnel transporting supplies, equipment, or fuel around the job site
Drivers handling cargo loading or unloading at the construction site
