The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has launched a website containing information and tips specifically related to safety and health for workers in the residential construction industry. The website was created with guidance and assistance from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

OSHA's Residential Construction Safety and Health website features information about OSHA standards that apply to residential construction as well as the hazards present in residential construction and solutions available to the industry.

The website also features detailed information and links to OSHA enforcement and training information, including interpretation and compliance letters; OSHA inspections; OSHA Training Institute (OTI) and NAHB training information; and OSHA compliance information and safety publications available online.
