A study aid, not an accredited course. This is here to help you prepare. It is not an accredited or certified course. It does not replace a school, an official or accredited class, or training that a certifying body, employer or agency requires, and it does not earn a credential, license or card.
Study guide only. Not an OSHA or OTI course: it gives no card and does not meet the prerequisite for #500. Take the real #510 at an OTI Education Center. Built on 29 CFR 1926 as current in November 2026.
When you finish, you'll be able to
- Know what the real #510 is and how this guide differs
- Find any construction rule fast: subpart, then section
- Explain the OSH Act, inspections, penalties, recordkeeping and multi-employer worksites
- Apply the fall, scaffold and ladder rules
- Apply the electrical, struck-by and caught-in rules
- Handle health hazards: silica, noise, lead and hazard communication
How this course works · 1-minute read
Lessons are slides
Use Back / Next or the ← → arrow keys. The gold bar above each slide jumps to any slide, and marks the Quick Checks before you reach them.
Quick Checks
134 short questions sit inside the lessons. Pick an answer and the right one and the explanation appear straight away. They are practice — nothing is recorded.
Every answer has a source
Gold citation cards name the section and how to find it in your book. “Read the full text” opens our plain-language decode of that section.
Your place is saved
Sign in and the course remembers the slide you stopped on. A lesson is marked done when you press Mark lesson complete on its last slide — you can unmark it to study it again.
Then the practice exam
The last module hands you to the full timed practice exam, scored by domain so you can see where to study next. It is practice: the real exam is taken with its issuer.
Continuing education
Finish every lesson and you can print a completion certificate with the date, the course version and your measured contact hours — the time you were active in the course, rounded down to the half hour. Contact hours on a certificate of completion. Certifying bodies decide what counts toward recertification. LifeSafetyWiki is not an IACET-accredited provider, and this does not replace the #510.
