OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety Course 6/1/2026 8:00 AM - 6/2/2026 1:30 PM

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 17:49:31 GMT

OSHA 10-Hour Construction Safety Course

Date: June 1-2, 2026

Time: 8:00 am to 1:30 pm both days

Instructor: Patricia Strizak, MPH, CHES, BSN, BS, CIT

This class will be held at the Syracuse Builders Exchange located at 6563 Ridings Rd, Syracuse, NY. There are safety guidelines in place - please be sure to review them. Due to demand, only 4 people per company, unless there are available seats.

The OSHA 10-hour Construction Industry Outreach course helps participants recognize and identify solutions to common safety and health hazards on the job. There is a New York State law requiring most workers on publicly funded construction sites to have the OSHA wallet card proving they have completed the OSHA 10-hour for Construction training course. Many General Contractors and Construction Management firms also require that subcontractors' employees have the 10-hour. Upon completion of the OSHA 10-hour for Construction, you will receive a course completion card that does not expire.

Please Be Advised – OSHA requires that cards be sent to the students, if a copy is required, please see the employee for a copy of their completion card. The cost of the course will be $30 per student SBE Member Firms and $50 per student Non-Members. Payments cannot be submitted at the time of registration. An invoice will be emailed to you separately, which will include a link for payment. Payments must be received by the First Day of Class. If Paying By Check – Please Make Payable To: Syracuse Builders Exchange and mail to 6563 Ridings Road, Syracuse, NY 13206. Course fees are non-refundable.

If one of your employees needs a translator, we will try to help them find a suitable class, but they will not be able to attend a scheduled 10-hour at the SBE. OSHA requires, when a translator is needed, that the 10-hour take 20 hours due to the extra time necessary to teach the material.

Students must attend both days in order to receive their completion card. Please let us know if your employee cannot attend so we can free up their spot. If another employee will replace an employee registered for the class, no problem, please let us know.

SBE Safety Guidelines:

Kindly enter and exit the building through the entrance located at the rear parking lot on the western end of the building.
Hand sanitizer will be available in the classroom.
Please bring your own writing instruments.
Cell phone use in the classroom may be restricted at the discretion of the instructor. If you need to reach your employee during the course, please call SBE’s main phone number 315.437.9936.

Should you need assistance with registration, please contact Dimi Wingate at Dwingate@syrabex.com 315.437.9936 ext. 14.
