Safety, Health and
Environment for
Construction
Workers
Every worker needs an understanding
of their safety and health responsibilities
IOSH’s globally-delivered, one-day, face-to-face Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Workers
course provides essential knowledge for anyone who is involved in construction activities.
It’s suitable for any geographical location and for any size of organisation.
Who is Safety, Health and
Environment for Construction
Workers for?
It’s very much focused on helping
delegates to understand what they
need to know, and how they can
benefit from working in a healthier and
safer way. The course provides workers
with the knowledge that they’ll be able
to use in their day-to-day roles.
The course can be customised to suit
either a cohort of workers from a single
company or construction workers from
a range of organisations.
The innovative course is woven around
a single scenario and case study
which is developed at each stage
of the course, giving delegates the
opportunity to put their acquired skills
into practice in the training room.
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.
