Washington OSHA 30-Hour Training 
for Construction

This course package is designed for construction supervisors, forepersons and safety professionals in the state of Washington. This course bundle contains a full education on state workplace safety topics that apply to construction sites in the Evergreen State. It also contains an OSHA-authorized Outreach Training course that teaches national safety standards.

Washington's construction industry is protected by federal law and the state's own OSHA-Approved State Plan. Worksites are governed by a combination of standards found in 29 CFR 1926 and the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA). Federal guidelines establish the national minimum, but L&I provides additional worker protections and safety requirements.

Throughout the course, you will learn about key safety and health topics, including Washington OSHA construction requirements and federal OSHA guidelines.

At the end of this Washington OSHA training, you'll be able to:

• Summarize the history of the federal OSH Act and the WISH Act.
• Identify the basic components of an Accident Prevention Program according to WISHA.
• Determine whether your organization must hold regular workplace safety meetings or establish a formal safety committee.
• List the basic requirements for employers in the State of Washington to provide fall protection for their workers.
• Explain WISHA's basic requirements for workers entering confined spaces.
• Describe WISHA's basic requirements for safe crane operations.
• Identify WISHA's basic requirements for protecting employees from outdoor heat exposure and wildfire smoke.
