An online provider of workforce training for the architecture, engineering and construction industries recently announced that it had reached a landmark by issuing its 10,000th Occupational Safety and Health Administration 10 Construction Card.

The Tampa, Fla., company, RedVector, was founded in 1999 and offers customizable online courses to individuals and corporations. It reports that it has an online library exceeding 1,100 courses authored by more than 100 subject matter experts.

The OSHA 10 Construction Card is a safety certification for entry-level workers. In order to receive it, they must complete a10-hour online Construction Industry Outreach Training program and pass an exam that tests their comprehension of OSHA-regulated health and safety topics and requirements.

"Every employee who comes home safe and healthy at the end of the workday is someone's family member, neighbor or friend," said instructor and OSHA Outreach Trainer Bob Layman. "OSHA 10-hour training provides the groundwork to understand basic OSHA requirements, but most importantly, gives workers the tools to control the hazards in their work environment."

According to Victoria Zambito, RedVector's business to professional president, the training encompasses, "everything from electrical issues and falls to demolition dangers."

RedVector states that it holds more than 60 state and national accreditations and serves more than 130,000 architecture, engineering and construction professionals across all 50 states.
