OSHA 10 for Construction vs General Industry: Key Differences

Written by Luciano Canziani, editorUpdated August 15, 2026

Construction vs General Industry

Choosing the right OSHA 10 course is critical because they cover entirely different standards.

OSHA 10 Construction (1926)

This course is for workers involved in new construction, alterations, or repairs. It heavily focuses on the "Focus Four" hazards: falls, electrocution, struck-by, and caught-in or -between. If you wear a hard hat and boots to work, this is usually the course you need.

OSHA 10 General Industry (1910)

This course is for workers in manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, and logistics. It focuses on hazards like ergonomics, bloodborne pathogens, walking-working surfaces, and machine guarding.

Always check with your employer before enrolling to ensure you select the right industry version.
