Basic Safety (Construction Site Safety Orientation) – The “Basic Safety (Construction Site Safety Orientation)” module (00101) that aligns to OSHA’s 10-hour program. This means that instructors who are OSHA-500 certified are able to issue 10-hour OSHA cards to their trainees who successfully complete the module. Combined with an NCCER credential, the OSHA 10-hour card will show employers a credible and valuable training record.

Fall Protection Orientation – NCCER’s Fall Protection Orientation (module 75901) is a robust, instructor-led training course designed to increase awareness of jobsite fall hazards and mitigate the risk of injury or death from these hazards. This program is ideal for instilling the value of a safety culture.

Field Safety – From craftperson to superintendent, Field Safety has been designed for individuals who are involved with completing or overseeing tasks in the construction industry. This curriculum reinforces safety training and the safety culture for every worker. It discusses how to recognize, understand, and address common hazards associated with the construction and maintenance environments. Field Safety can effectively be used to cover the topics required for the OSHA 30-hour training course.

Safety Technology – Safety Technology provides instruction on how to implement and administer a company’s safety program. This manual is designed for field managers, safety directors, safety committees, owner safety representatives, and insurance/loss control representatives.

Those who successfully complete a prescribed set of modules from the NCCER safety curricula receive a certificate, transcript and wallet card with one of NCCER’s three safety training designations. These designations are:

• • Construction Site Safety Orientation (CSSO)


• • Construction Site Safety Supervisor (CSSS)


• • Construction Site Safety Technician (CSST)

For entry into the NCCER Registry and issuance of credentials, these courses must be taught by the appropriate level of safety instructor under an Accredited Training Sponsor (ATS).

Standard certificates of completion (Blue background) are issued for completion of a level in the NCCER curriculum. When a required set of levels have been earned towards a craft completion, a certificate of craft completion (Silver background) is issued. The CSSO, CSSS and CSST credentials earn standard certificates of completion, while the CSSS and CSST also earn certificates of craft completion. As curricula are constantly being revised and updated, these credentialing policies are subject to change at the discretion of NCCER.
