If you work in the construction industry, you know that safety isn't just a checkbox; it's everything. Every day, 12 million construction workers across the United States head to job sites where one wrong move, one overlooked hazard, or one moment of distraction can change lives forever.
Your employees deserve to leave at the end of the day just as healthy as when they arrived. Their safety shouldn't be a trade-off for earning a paycheck.
The OSHA 10 challenge you've probably faced
Many of you have been there: you need to train your employees on OSHA 10 in order work on certain projects or in certain states, but getting it has always been a hassle.
Traditional classroom training means:
- Taking time off work or sacrificing personal time
- Traveling to training locations
- Sitting through sessions that move too fast or too slow
- Limited class availability that doesn't match your schedules
Online options seemed like the solution, except they come with their own problem: high prices. Only a handful of providers are authorized to deliver OSHA 10 online, and they charge premium rates.
What's changed (and what it means for you)
Here's the game-changer: OSHA 10 Construction training is now included as part of the OpenSesame Plus subscription. As part of our expanded partnership with Vector Solutions, a premium provider of OSHA 10 Construction, you can now get OSHA 10 as part of our flagship subscription product, OpenSesame Plus.
What does this mean for you and your team?
Convenience on your terms. Users learn at their own pace, on their own schedule, from wherever they are. No commute, no rigid class times, no one-size-fits-all approach.
Real affordability. Instead of paying premium prices for a single course, you get OSHA 10 plus access to over 50,000 other training courses—all for less than what many charge for OSHA 10 alone. OpenSesame works tirelessly to continue to add high-value, high-quality content to our flagship product, OpenSesame Plus. The only added fee is a minimal processing fee to cover the mailing of the physical OSHA 10 Construction cards to your employees. Talk to your OpenSesame representative to learn more.
More than just OSHA 10. Your OpenSesame Plus subscription now includes over 800 additional safety and compliance courses that were previously only available at premium prices, including DOT driver safety, EPA training, healthcare facilities maintenance, and many more.
The bottom line
Safety training shouldn't be expensive, inconvenient, or inaccessible. It should be what it's always meant to be: a tool that helps you protect yourself and your coworkers, advance your career, and get home safe every single day.
Whether you're new to construction or a seasoned pro updating your credentials, you now have a better, more affordable way to get the training you need—and deserve.
At the end of the day, this isn't just about compliance or credentials. It's about you going home safe to the people who matter most.
