FAQ
Construction safety officers are often responsible for training their fellow construction employees in safe work practices. For this reason, most employers prefer that their construction safety officers are OSHA authorized trainers.
Building codes are laws that set minimum requirements for how structural systems, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), natural gas systems and other aspects of residential and commercial buildings should be designed and constructed.
Workers at worksites requiring a Site Safety Plan must receive a minimum of 40 hours of training and be able to display a Site Safety Training (SST) card at the worksite. This includes sites that must designate a Construction Superintendent, Site Safety Coordinator, or Site Safety Manager.
A lot of entry level safety jobs in construction want you to have your OSHA 30 and a first aid/CPR/AED cert. You can either take the OSHA online (look at ``ClickSafety'') or in person in some places. FA/CPR/AED is basically falling off a log easy. Both of those certs should be less than $600 out of pocket.
Owners have ultimate responsibility for ensuring adequate project safety oversight for specific organization(s) or individual(s) on the project. Owners may enlist a General Contractor (Construction Manager) to supplement project management and delegate a certain level of authority to such General Contractor.
Nearby construction can be an inconvenience, but homeowners and renters have options when it's too disruptive. If construction noise continues to interfere with the quiet enjoyment of your apartment after reasonable measures were taken, then you may be able to pursue a constructive eviction and break your lease.
The owner of the construction company: This is usually the first place to look. It is their job to ensure that the site is OSHA compliant by implementing and enforcing safety measures and monitoring the site to verify that everyone maintains compliance.
Every Jobsite is Different. Some jobsites have specific security protocols or construction visitor parking rules, so checking in with the site superintendent before you arrive for your tour can help you avoid any mishaps.
While trespassing is illegal, if your site is not secure and then found not to have been a safe place for workers, you could get into trouble. The results could be financially damaging. Landowners have a duty of care to anyone on their site, whether they are there with permission or unauthorised.
