IOSH – Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Workers

Who is Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Workers for? 

This course aims to provide delegates with core knowledge to ensure safety and good techniques and understanding of health and safety in the construction workplace. This course has been approved by CITB and is aligned to the Build UK Training Standard.

The course provides workers with the knowledge that they’ll be able to use in their day-to-day roles.  Understanding legislation, policy and practice in a given territory is crucial for any construction manager. Therefore, we have ensured that the section on legislation can be tailored to local contexts. It sets out a global standard, with underlying principles on good practice. With this, delegates can be confident they are taught to the same high standards, whatever the location. Unlike other construction courses, completion of Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Workers means that there is no need to sit any additional environment courses – it’s a one-stop shop
