Construction Safety Orientation Requirements
Who Needs a Construction Safety Orientation
- Every new hire before their first shift on a jobsite, whether they are new to construction or a twenty-year veteran who is new to your company
- Workers moving to a new site, a new general contractor, or a new phase of work with different hazards
- Subcontractor crews and temporary or seasonal labor working under your site rules
- Anyone returning after a long absence, or after a near miss or injury shows the basics were missed
Crews that split time between the jobsite and a shop, yard or office can pair this program with our general-industry safety orientation video for new employees, which covers the hazards every workplace shares.
What OSHA Requires
OSHA has no standard titled “orientation,” but the construction rules require it in substance. 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2) says the employer shall instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and in the regulations that apply to their work, and 1926.20(b) requires an accident prevention program with regular inspections by a competent person and equipment operated only by trained, qualified workers. Individual standards add their own training at initial assignment, including hazard communication, personal protective equipment, and the emergency action plan. A documented site orientation is how contractors put all of that in front of a worker before exposure, and this program supports that requirement. It is not an OSHA 10-hour card: that is a separate Outreach course that some states and cities require for construction workers, and we do not sell it.
How Long It Takes and When to Repeat It
OSHA sets no minimum hours for a site orientation. This video runs 16 minutes; with the quiz, a walk through your site-specific rules, emergency assembly point and competent person, most contractors finish inside an hour. Repeat the orientation when a worker changes sites or contractors, when site conditions or the emergency plan change, and whenever an incident or a supervisor’s observation shows the basics did not stick. Several standards carry their own retraining triggers, so the orientation is the floor, not the whole program.
How This Kit Documents the Training
The kit gives you the record an OSHA compliance officer or a general contractor asks for: a printable sign-in sheet, an employee quiz with answer sheet, and a Training Completion Certificate you can edit with each worker’s name and date and reuse for every crew member. Keep the signed sheet and the scored quiz with your site safety file.

It is the training a worker gets before the first shift on a site: the company’s safety-first expectations, the drug- and alcohol-free policy, how to inspect a work area, housekeeping, footwear, gloves, eye, head, hearing and respiratory protection, tool rules, ergonomics, first aid basics and the emergency action plan. This video covers each of those; you add the site-specific rules.
Not by that name. 29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2) requires employers to instruct each employee in recognizing and avoiding unsafe conditions and in the regulations that apply to their work, and standards such as hazard communication and PPE require training at initial assignment. A documented orientation is how contractors show that instruction happened before exposure; this kit supports that requirement.
OSHA sets no minimum. This video runs 16 minutes. Add the quiz, a walk through your site rules, the emergency assembly point and who the competent person is, and most contractors finish in about an hour. Repeat it when a worker changes sites or contractors, or when conditions change.
No. OSHA 10 is a 10-hour Outreach course that ends in a Department of Labor card, and some states and cities require it for construction workers. A site orientation is the training your company gives every worker about your jobsite and your rules. Most contractors need both; this kit is the orientation, and we do not sell OSHA 10 cards.
Two layers. The general layer is in this video: hazard recognition, daily work-area inspection, housekeeping, PPE by task, tool rules, back safety, fire and first aid basics, and the emergency plan. The site layer is yours: site map and access, assembly points, the competent person, permits, reporting, and the disciplinary policy. The presenter’s guide walks a supervisor through both.
Yes. Choose English or Spanish when you order, on DVD or USB, or take it online. OSHA expects training in a language and manner each worker understands, so Spanish-speaking crews get the same 16-minute program, the same quiz and the same certificate. Buying both languages means buying the kit twice, since each is a separate program.

Great quick safety orientation for construction. Covers all the main hazards.
Very good and a big thumbs up from us!
Sets a solid foundation for construction site safety. We plan on showing this to all of our new hires and also use it as refresher training for more experienced crew members.
Exactly what our team needed. Solidy overview of construction worksite safety protocols
Our crew liked it (and they aren’t easy to please)
