Many THANKS to John Newquist, Assistant Regional Administrator at DOL-OSHA Region V, for posting this great summary.
All are construction 10 hour/30 cards.
New York State
Every worker needs to be certified as having completed an OSHA 10 safety training course on public work projects of $250,000 or more. The intent is to require that all employees of public work contractors receive such training “prior to the performing any work on the project.”
Proof of completion may include a copy of a course completion card.
Special circumstances for New York City. The OSHA 10 hour construction course is required on all NYC DOB major public and private projects, and certifications must be current within 5 years.
The requirements went into effect on July 18, 2008.
Massachusetts
All employees to be employed at the worksite needs to complete the OSHA 10 hour construction course before beginning work on the worksite.
Any employee found on a worksite subject to this section without documentation of successful completion of the OSHA 10 hour course shall be subject to immediate removal.
The Mass. law specifically says “At least 10 hours” so the OSHA 30 hour construction course would also enable the worker to meet these requirements.
The law went into effect in 2004.
New Hampshire
All on-site employees, working on publicly funded (including state, or local municipality) projects of $100,000 or more, must complete the OSHA 10 Hour Construction course prior to beginning work. An employee who has not completed the program shall be subject to removal from the worksite after 15 days of being found to be non-compliant.
The New Hampshire law provides for penalties to the employer of up to $2,500 and a civil penalty of $100 per employee for each day of noncompliance.
The law went into effect in 2007.
Connecticut
The OSHA 10 hour construction course is required for all employees of any public building project paid for in whole or part by state funding, or any of its agencies, where the total cost is over $100,000.
Each contractor needs to furnish proof that all employees have taken the OSHA 10 hour construction course within 30 days of being awarded the contract. Employees who have not completed the course are subject to removal from the worksite.
As in virtually all situations, the OSHA 10 hour course completion card or other proof, like a completion certificate is required to show compliance.
The law went into effect in 2007.
Special circumstances for Connecticut: The OSHA 10 hour construction course must be retaken every 5 years. There are some exceptions for the requirement that include site work, roads or bridges, rail lines, parking lots or underground water, sewer or drainage systems including pump houses or other utility systems.
Rhode Island
Rhode Island requires that all workers on municipal and state construction projects with a total project cost of over $100,000 complete the OSHA 10 hour construction course.
This requirement is for on-site workers, including, construction workers, contractors, project developers, site managers, and/or any other individual(s) working on a jobsite.
Law enforcement officers and/or jobsite security are exempt, as are all federal, state and municipal government inspectors.
Fines for non compliance are between $250 and $950, per offense, per day.
This requirement began in 2004.
Missouri
The Construction Safety Training Act contains provisions requiring all contractors and subcontractors who enter into contracts with public bodies for construction of public works to train their on-site employees regarding the potential hazards they may encounter while working on the project. The training may be accomplished by providing a standard OSHA 10 Hour Construction course or similar program provided it is as stringent as the OSHA 10 hour program and approved by the Division of Labor Standards (“Division”). http://labor.mo.gov/DLS/WorkplaceSafety/required_safety_training.asp
Nevada
Specifically, beginning on January 1, 2010, AB 148 will require:
- All construction workers in the state to undergo a 10-hour safety training course (OSHA-10) developed by the U.S. Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) at least once every five years;
- All Supervisors on a construction site to undergo a 30-hour safety training course (OSHA-30) approved by OSHA at least once every five years.
