CSST - Safety Tech

CSST - Field Safety

This NCCER occupational safety program is the one most needed, and large construction companies request, for becoming a safety technician in a plant or on a large construction site. It is designed so that you can take either half first (Field Safety or Safety Technology).  This CSST program deals with hazard recognition and safety management systems.  Topics covered include hazard communication, work zone safety, personal protective equipment, fall protection, trenching safety, job safety analysis, task safety analysis, safety meetings, work permit policies, risk analysis, and assessment.

Those who complete both courses and pass all NCCER tests receive certification as a Construction Site Safety Technician (CSST) through the National Center for Construction Education (NCCER), along with up to five additional credentials.  We offer these CSST courses in an online/hybrid format where you participate in Zoom classes on Saturdays, with lectures, discussions and demonstrations.  Then you read through presentations and study guides to complete some simple assignments and quizzes online on your own, all to prepare for NCCER's official online tests that you can take at any time of day or night.  This program is eight weeks long with four Saturdays in each course.  Recordings of Saturday classes are available in case you cannot make these sessions. This course is flexible with your schedule.
