COSH Training (Construction Occupational Safety and Health) refers to a mandatory safety training required for workers, supervisors, and safety officers in the construction industry to ensure compliance with Philippine occupational safety and health standards.

Under DOLE Department Order No. 252, Series of 2025, COSH training aims to:

• Prevent construction-related accidents, injuries, and illnesses

• Educate workers and supervisors on construction hazards and control measures

• Ensure proper implementation of safety and health programs at construction sites

• Comply with legal requirements before deployment to construction projects

In short, COSH training is a DOLE-required program that promotes safe and healthy practices in construction workplaces.
