The construction course is generally taken by construction workers, supervisors, foremen, and others in the construction industry. The course teaches participants the OSHA inspection priorities, to describe the inspection process, and describe the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees under the OSHA Act. In addition, participants also learn the basic requirements for aisle and passageway maintenance, guidelines for identification and protection of floor openings, and the importance of a fire protection program.

The general industry class is usually taken by supervisors and employees who are responsible for the health and safety of others.
