OSHA is an acronym for “Occupational Safety and Health Administration” which is a sub-division of the United States Department of Labor.

The web address for this agency is:  www.osha.gov

Many exam administrators (PSI, Prometric, ICC, ProV) write test questions based on federal statutes called the “Code of Federal Regulations” or “CFR”.

The following three titles shown here are the sections of the federal code (Title 29) that relate to the construction industry:

• PART 1904: Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
• PART 1910: Occupational Safety and Health Standards
• PART 1926: Safety and Health Regulations for Construction

Yes!  There is a free PDF version of a 76-page (mobile friendly) pamphlet that was published in 2015 by the US Department of Labor titled "OSHA Construction Industry Digest" (publication #2202-09R) and is available from the button below:

This pamphlet outlines some of the construction industry code sections you will need for your exam.  However, if you are taking a PSI exam, this reference will probably not be allowed at the exam location because PSI publishes their own version that they expect you to purchase.  There are more up-to-date publications with the same code sections shown on our OSHA Downloads page.

You can copy the PDF file onto a USB stick and have the file printed at a locally-owned printing shop like Minuteman Press or Alpha Graphics.

You can call the OSHA Publications Hotline at (800) 321-6742.
