Week 2 – Lesson 3:
OSHA-Compliant Safety Training, PPE, and Hazard Awareness

Section 1: Overview

Safety is the foundation of every Profession. Before you can be trusted to work on a jobsite, you must prove you understand how to protect yourself and others from harm. This week, you’ll enroll in the OSHA-10 Construction Safety Course provided by CraftED. The purpose of this assignment is to begin that certification, explore its core modules, and reflect on why safety awareness is not just a requirement—it’s a professional responsibility. Completing OSHA-10 training will make you a stronger candidate for apprenticeship placement and future employment.

Competetecy 1:
