How do I get into construction safety?

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.

What is the OSHA standard for construction?

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (29 CFR 1926.95) Protecting workers from physical, electrical, and other hazards is the core objective of OSHA's PPE Standard. Employers must provide suitable personal protective equipment, such as hard hats, gloves, and eye protection, and ensure that employees use them correctly.
