This course time is subject to the number of those enrolled for that day.

This class is completed within one day and focuses on the hazards that exist within a confined space on a construction site. We utilize the standards found at www.osha.gov under 29 CFR Part 1926 Subpart AA – Confined Spaces in Construction. … All construction employers whose workers may be exposed to confined space hazards must be trained on these and other jobsite hazards and recognition of other hazards that may exist.

This 2-day course is designed to enable students to recognize, evaluate, prevent, and abate safety and health hazards associated with confined space and permit required confined space entry. This course, based on OSHA 2264 Standard, is highly participatory with substantial hands-on training in the use of monitors, PPE, and entry and retrieval in a simulated, controlled confined space. This class is completed over two 8-hour days.  

OSHA 10 Hour Construction Safety Course was developed to provide construction workers, supervisors and personnel an awareness of work-site safety and health. Upon course completion, participants receive a Department of Labor OSHA construction and health course completion card.  This class and the resulting completion card are needed to comply with the Missouri statute requiring an OSHA 10 hour for all employees on public works projects.  However, it is important to note that the amount of time and information provided within any of the subjects of this 10-hour course is not adequate to fulfill the training requirements of the OSHA standards.  This is a safety awareness course only!  

OSHA 10 Certification class offered online for members of the IUPAT. The maximum hours of training that can be completed on any given day is 7.5 hours.

OSHA 30 Construction Safety Course offered online for members of the IUPAT. This class was developed to provide awareness of common hazards and to provide training as required by the OSHA Standards in some major areas.  Students will receive the 30-hour Construction Safety and Health card from the Department of Labor.  Furthermore, students will receive expanded training and certificates in the areas of Hazard Communication, and Respiratory Protection.  This is a four-day class and all days must be attended.   

Construction Safety Course is a comprehensive class developed to provide awareness of common hazards and provide training as required by the OSHA Standards in some major areas.  Students will receive the 30-hour Construction Safety and Health card from the Department of Labor. They will have up to 6 months to complete the class from the time of enrollment and are free to their own online class time hours. The maximum hours of training that can be completed on any given day is 7.5 hours.
