OSHA's mission is to create and enforce workplace safety rules to ensure that employees in the United States can do their jobs in a safe environment. Because of the particular risks of working in concrete and masonry construction, OSHA has implemented requirements to manage and reduce those risks.

The OSHA rules for concrete and masonry construction workers are covered in this course. Research topics include the breadth and application of the rules, general requirements, equipment and tool use in concrete and masonry construction, lift-slab operations, and masonry construction.
