Construction

Over 60,000 people around the world die on construction sites every year, and there are 475 work-related accidents every minute. Our training courses aim to reduce accidents, illnesses and deaths in one of the most hazardous industries.

Our safety, health and environment for construction workers training course provides the core knowledge needed to stay safe and keep others safe.

Learners have the chance to test their skills using a scenario and case study that develops during the course. A section tailored to local contexts raises awareness of relevant legislation, policy and practice.

There is no need to sit additional environmental courses, saving time and expense.

Our safety, health and environment for construction site managers training course provides essential knowledge for anyone who oversees construction activities.

It provides a step-by-step guide to understanding and managing the risks. Keeping your business healthy and safe with an effective training programme can reduce the cost of accidents and illness by up to 40 per cent.
