Thirty questions on the topics an OSHA 10-Hour Construction Outreach class covers — the Focus Four hazards, PPE, scaffolds, ladders, excavations, electrical safety, hazard communication and recordkeeping. Every answer is explained and traced to the paragraph of 29 CFR it comes from, so the explanations are worth more than the score.

Not OSHA-authorized training. SteelToeTools is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorized by OSHA or the U.S. Department of Labor. This free educational content does not satisfy any OSHA or other regulatory training requirement, and no card, certificate, or credential is issued. Only OSHA-authorized trainers can deliver OSHA Outreach Training (10-Hour and 30-Hour) and issue DOL cards. Always follow your employer's training program and applicable federal, state, and local requirements.
Frequently asked questions
No. Only OSHA-authorized trainers deliver OSHA 10-Hour Outreach classes and issue Department of Labor cards. This is a free practice test that helps you review the same topics; it is not affiliated with OSHA or the Department of Labor and it is not part of any class.
No. Nothing is issued for taking this practice test. The DOL card comes only from an OSHA-authorized trainer at the end of a real 10-hour class. Anyone selling you a card without a class is selling you a problem.
Under OSHA's Outreach Training Program procedures for construction, the class includes mandatory topics — an introduction to OSHA and the Focus Four hazards (falls, struck-by, caught-in or between, electrocution) — plus PPE and health hazards, and elective topics chosen from subjects such as scaffolds, ladders, excavations, cranes, hand and power tools, and materials handling. This practice test follows the same map.
Falls, struck-by, caught-in or between, and electrocution. They are the four leading causes of construction fatalities and OSHA requires them to be covered in every 10-hour construction class. Roughly a third of the questions here come from those four families.
The questions are written under federal OSHA construction standards (29 CFR 1926). About half the states run their own State Plans, which federal OSHA must approve, which have to be at least as effective as the federal standards, and which are sometimes stricter — California, Washington, Oregon and Michigan in particular. Check your state's rule before you rely on a number on the job.
You get the correct answer and the explanation after each question, and a score at the end. The 70% shown is only what a typical class quiz would ask for — it has no official meaning, and this test is not a class requirement.
