IASHEP 015 - Certified Construction Safety Health Specialist Course (CCSHS)

Course Description

This 4-day Construction course is designed for students who want to learn the 29 CFR 1926 standards. The IASHEP 015 course is also a prerequisite for those intending to attend the IASHEP 005 Trainers Course.

Once a student has completed both the IASHEP 015 course and the IASHEP 005 Trainers Course, they are authorized by IASHEP to teach and issue the IASHEP 10- and 30-hour Construction Course completion cards. Note that OSHA 10- and 30-hour cards are limited to the United States and its Trust Territories, while IASHEP cards are recognized throughout the United States and internationally, making this course essential for those who want to teach safety worldwide.

Students will learn crucial OSHA policies, procedures, and standards, as well as construction safety and health principles as they relate to real-world situations. Special emphasis is placed on the most hazardous areas, using OSHA standards as a guide.
