Study Guides & Workbooks
Books that pair with our practice apps — quiz in the app, review on paper
OSHA 10 Construction Study Guide 2026-2027 (Fitzgerald) — 1,200 Practice Questions
1,200 paper questions covering the same 8 outreach topics as our /apps/osha10/ app — Focus Four, PPE, health hazards, and ladders. Quiz on your phone at lunch, review the book chapters at night.
The closest thing to a paper twin of this app — same topics, same difficulty curve.
OSHA 30 Construction Study Guide 2026-2027 (Fitzgerald) — 1,200 Practice Questions
The book companion to /apps/osha30/ — full coverage of the 9 required and elective topics, including the scaffolding, excavation, and confined-space electives our /quiz/osha30/ practice sets drill.
Our top pick for 30-hour candidates who want a book to mark up alongside the app.
OSHA 30-Hour Construction Student Workbook (Raúl Ross Pineda)
The take-to-class workbook from an authorized Outreach trainer — bring it to your actual 30-hour course and use our /study/osha30/ lessons beforehand so the class material lands on familiar ground.
Written by an authorized Outreach trainer, so it matches what your instructor will actually teach.
OSHA 10 horas construcción — cuaderno de trabajo para el estudiante
The Spanish student workbook for the 10-hour course, from the same authorized-trainer series. Pairs with our fully translated Spanish content at /es/quiz/osha10/ — study and take the class in the language you think in.
The only student workbook we know of that is fully in Spanish, from an authorized-trainer series.
Jobsite PPE Essentials
The gear our PPE topic quizzes are actually about
MSA V-Gard Full-Brim Hard Hat with Fas-Trac III Ratchet Suspension
The classic ANSI Z89.1 full-brim shell. Our /quiz/osha10/personal-protective-equipment/ questions cover when head protection is required and how to wear it — this is the hat those answers assume.
The industry-standard shell on most US jobsites — and comfortable enough to wear all shift.
DEWALT DPG82 Concealer Anti-Fog Dual Mold Safety Goggles
ANSI Z87.1+ sealed goggles for cutting, grinding, and silica dust — the exact exposures covered in our /study/osha10/health-hazards/ lessons on respirable dust and eye injuries.
Sealed, anti-fog, and cheap enough to replace without thinking twice.
JKSafety Class 2 High-Visibility Zipper Vest with 9 Pockets
ANSI/ISEA Class 2 hi-vis — the struck-by countermeasure our /quiz/osha10/struck-by/ photo questions test around vehicles and equipment. Nine pockets carry your phone with the app in one of them.
Class 2 visibility plus real pockets — the vest crews actually keep wearing.
3M WorkTunes Connect Hearing Protector with Bluetooth (24 dB NRR)
24 dB NRR earmuffs for when the jobsite crosses the 90 dBA action level — run the Noise Exposure calculator in the SafePath apps' Toolbox to see exactly when you need them.
Hearing protection you'll actually wear, because it doubles as your jobsite headphones.
Fall Protection
Falls are the #1 killer in construction — the gear behind Subpart M and our Focus Four lessons
Guardian 00815 Rooftop Safety Kit — 50 ft Vertical Lifeline, Anchor, Harness & Bucket
A complete personal fall arrest system in one bucket — anchor, 50 ft lifeline, rope grab, and harness. Our /study/osha10/falls/ lessons teach the ABCD of fall arrest (Anchorage, Body harness, Connector, Deceleration); this kit is all four in a single box.
The most established fall-protection listing on Amazon and the simplest way to own every piece at once.
Malta Dynamics Warthog Full Body Harness with Side D-Rings (LG-XL)
An OSHA/ANSI-compliant full body harness with side D-rings for positioning work. The 'B' in the ABCD our /quiz/osha10/falls/ questions drill — and the piece OSHA requires above 6 feet in construction.
The cheapest honest way onto a fall-arrest system, from a brand that only makes fall protection.
Malta Dynamics Double-Leg Shock-Absorbing Lanyard, 4.5–6 ft, with Rebar Hooks
Two legs let you clip the second hook before unclipping the first — 100% tie-off while you move between anchor points. That continuous-attachment rule is exactly what our /quiz/osha30/falls/ questions test.
The upgrade that makes 100% tie-off physically possible instead of just a rule you memorised.
3M DBI-SALA Nano-Lok Self-Retracting Lifeline, 9 ft, Quick Connect
An SRL locks within inches instead of letting you free-fall the length of a lanyard, so it works where clearance below is tight. Our /study/osha30/falls/ lesson on fall-clearance calculations explains exactly why that distance matters.
The single biggest safety upgrade over a shock lanyard when there isn't much room below you.
3M DBI-SALA Nano-Lok Twin-Leg Self-Retracting Lifeline, 6 ft
Twin-leg SRL for climbing and moving across steel — continuous attachment with the short arrest distance of an SRL. Pairs with the steel erection and scaffolding topics in /apps/osha30/.
What ironworkers actually wear — 100% tie-off and minimal fall distance in one connector.
Electrical Safety & Lockout/Tagout
Electrocution is one of the Focus Four — these are the tools that make 'test before touch' real
Klein Tools RT250 GFCI Outlet Tester with LCD Display
Checks GFCI trip time and finds open grounds and reversed polarity. Subpart K requires GFCI protection on construction temp power — our /quiz/osha10/electrocution/ questions cover the rule; this tells you whether the outlet actually obeys it.
Ten seconds at each outlet turns a rule you memorised into a hazard you actually caught.
Klein Tools NCVT3P Dual-Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester with Flashlight
A 12–1000V AC pen that beeps before you touch anything. The verification step our /study/osha10/electrocution/ lesson calls the difference between a de-energised circuit and one you merely believe is de-energised.
Pocket-sized, and the cheapest possible answer to the Focus Four hazard that kills silently.
TRADESAFE Electrical Lockout Tagout Kit — Breaker Lockouts, Hasps, Plug Lock & Tags
The personal LOTO pouch each authorised employee carries — breaker lockouts, hasps, plug lockout, and tags. 29 CFR 1910.147 requires each worker to apply their own lock, which our /quiz/osha30/introduction-to-osha/ questions reference.
One kit per worker is what the standard actually requires — not one lock shared by the crew.
TRADESAFE XL Lockout Tagout Station — 61 Devices with Lockable Cover
A wall-mounted station with keyed-different locks, hasps, and weather-resistant tags for a whole crew. This is the site-level answer to the documented energy-control program our /blog/osha-30-supervisor-guide/ walks through.
Turns LOTO from a policy in a binder into something hanging on the wall where the crew can reach it.
Fluke 117 True-RMS Digital Multimeter with Non-Contact Voltage Detection
CAT III 600V true-RMS with AutoV/LoZ to reject ghost voltage — the meter that performs the verification step of a lockout/tagout procedure. Our /quiz/osha30/electrocution/ set treats 'test before touch' as the step people skip.
The industry default for verifying zero energy — and low-impedance mode kills the ghost voltage that fools cheap meters.
Respiratory Protection & Silica Control
For the health hazards that take years instead of seconds — 1926.1153 silica and 1910.134 respirators
3M Aura 9205+ N95 Particulate Respirator, Pack of 20, Individually Wrapped
NIOSH-approved N95s for lower-exposure work, individually wrapped so they stay clean in a truck. Our /study/osha10/health-hazards/ lesson explains why a dust mask is not the same thing as a respirator.
The entry point to respiratory protection — and the 3-panel Aura fits over a beard line better than a cup.
3M 6502QL Rugged Comfort Quick-Latch Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator (Medium)
The quick-latch drops the mask one-handed when you step out of a regulated area, without doffing it entirely. Reusable respirators trigger the fit-testing and medical-evaluation requirements our /quiz/osha30/health-hazards-in-construction/ questions cover.
The half-face most crews settle on, because the quick-latch is the difference between wearing it and pocketing it.
3M 2091 P100 Particulate Filter, 3 Pairs
99.97%-efficient P100 filters — the cartridge grade the silica standard points to for respirable crystalline silica. These fit the 6502QL above, and they are a consumable, not a one-time buy.
The filter that makes a half-face respirator legal for silica — and the part people forget to reorder.
3M 6800 Full Face Reusable Respirator Kit (Medium) with 4 × 2097 P100 Filters
A full facepiece carries an assigned protection factor of 50 against a half-mask's 10, and protects your eyes at the same time. For the Table 1 tasks in /study/osha30/health-hazards-in-construction/ that need more than a half-mask, this is the one-box answer.
Five times the protection factor of a half-mask, with eye protection built in — and it ships with the P100s.
Confined Space & Air Monitoring
Subpart AA permit-required entry — the instruments behind the OSHA 30 confined-space elective
BW Clip Single-Gas H2S Detector, 2-Year Maintenance-Free
Personal hydrogen-sulfide monitoring for sewer, manhole, and tank work — switch it on and it runs two years with no charging or calibration. H2S is the toxic atmosphere our /quiz/osha30/permit-required-confined-spaces/ questions return to most.
The affordable way to put a real gas detector on every worker instead of one shared by the crew.
MSA ALTAIR 4XR Multigas Detector (LEL, O2, H2S, CO)
The four-gas instrument permit-required entry is built around. 1926.1204 sets the testing order — oxygen first, then flammables, then toxics — and our /study/osha30/permit-required-confined-spaces/ lesson explains why that sequence is not negotiable.
The monitor most entry supervisors already know how to read — and the one their rescue plan assumes.
Honeywell BW Clip4 4-Gas Detector (LEL, O2, H2S, CO), 2-Year Sealed
Same four gases as a full instrument, but sealed for two years — no docking, no charging, no calibration record to keep. Good for attendants and occasional entrants covered in /apps/osha30/.
Four-gas coverage without the calibration program — the reason small crews actually keep it switched on.
Allegro 9543-25 12" Axial Blower with 25 ft Ducting, 1 HP
Forced-air ventilation is the control that turns many permit spaces into spaces a crew can work in — 1926.1204(c). Our /quiz/osha30/permit-required-confined-spaces/ questions cover when ventilation is required and when it isn't enough on its own.
A site-level purchase, not a personal one — but it's the piece that makes the permit signable.
Foreman & Supervisor Tools
For the OSHA 30 crowd — the paperwork side of keeping a crew safe
Saunders Cruiser-Mate Heavy-Duty Aluminum Storage Clipboard
The contractor-grade form holder for site walks. Use it alongside the audit checklists and incident reports in /apps/osha30/ — digital records in the app, wet-signature forms in the clipboard.
Survives years of site walks and keeps signed forms dry until they reach the trailer.
Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Top-Spiral Notebook (3" × 5")
Field notes that survive rain, sweat, and concrete dust. Perfect for jotting hazards during the daily walk before transferring them to a toolbox talk — our /blog/osha-30-supervisor-guide/ covers why written records matter.
Waterproof pages that keep your hazard notes legible in any weather.
First Aid Only 91248 OSHA-Compliant First Aid Kit (50-Person, 260 Pieces)
ANSI/OSHA-compliant kit sized for a real crew. First aid provisions appear throughout the 29 CFR 1926 standards our /quiz/osha30/introduction-to-osha/ questions reference — this checks that box on your next audit.
An easy audit win: ANSI-compliant, sized for a full crew, ready to mount by the gang box.
