ANSI/ASSP A10.2-2025: Construction Safety—And How TapRooT® Can Take It Further
In February 2025, the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) released the updated ANSI/ASSP A10.2-2025 standard, “Safety, Health and Environmental Training for Construction and Demolition Operations.” This standard establishes comprehensive training practices to enhance construction safety and reduce incidents on construction and demolition sites.
Key Components of the Standard
There are a couple of key components:
- Training Types: The standard outlines important training categories, including new hire orientation, site-specific safety procedures, regulatory compliance, pre-job briefings, supervisory leadership development, and retraining protocols.
- Evaluation and Documentation: Emphasis is placed on the importance of training evaluations, thorough documentation, and meticulous record-keeping as integral elements of an effective workplace safety program.
By following the guidelines outlined in ANSI/ASSP A10.2-2025, companies can build a proactive safety culture and make sure that all workers are adequately trained to recognize and mitigate potential hazards inherent in construction and demolition operations.
The newly released ANSI/ASSP A10.2-2025 standard highlights the critical role of comprehensive safety training in construction and demolition operations. It emphasizes the need for structured training, hazard identification, and continuous improvement—all essential for preventing incidents and ensuring a safe work environment.
