OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour training - Connecticut

Connecticut has adopted federal OSHA standards and incorporates them by reference. The state has some additional requirements for 10-hour and 30-hour OSHA outreach training.

The requirements apply to public construction projects with a total cost of $100,000 or more, paid for in whole or in part by the state or by state agency funding. All employees who work on such projects must complete an OSHA-approved 10-hour construction safety training program or have completed one within the previous five calendar years.

Each contractor must furnish proof that all employees have taken the OSHA 10-hour Construction Course within 30 days of the contract being awarded. Employees who have not completed the course are subject to removal from the worksite.

The OSHA 10-hour construction safety training course must be retaken every five years.
