The Benefits of Obtaining your NEBOSH Construction Certificate

The NEBOSH Construction Certificate is relevant to a range of professions within the construction sector. Such construction industry professionals as supervisors, managers and CDM co-ordinators frequently take the NEBOSH construction certificate, which trains them to, as part of their role, make sure that activities over which they have control take place safely. Those involved with building management often take the award as a way of ensuring that safe working practices are adopted by their contractors. Other roles for which the award is useful include managers and supervisors from industries other than construction that involve non-permanent workplaces, such as broadcasting or utilities.

Features of the NEBOSH Construction Certificate Training
All of the main legal requirements concerning health and safety in construction in the UK, in addition to how to identify and control hazards in this kind of workplace, are included in the course, with practical exercises also incorporated throughout. Although there is no requirement for any previous knowledge of health and safety, or indeed any formal qualifications, applicants are advised to ensure that they have an understanding of the construction industry’s basic practical aspects. You will also be required as part of the examination to submit a short written report, so a reasonable standard of written English is also expected.

The course consists of the three, separately assessed units of management of health and safety (NGC1), managing and controlling hazards in construction activities (NCC1) and health and safety practical application (NCC2).

The awarded certificates will feature the logos of the relevant organisations for which the award meets the academic requirements for membership, such as Technician Membership (Tech IOSH) of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Associate Membership (AIIRSM) of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM), as will the qualification’s accredited title of NEBOSH Level 3 Certificate in Construction Health and Safety.

It helps to find a website which has tight quality criteria in determining which providers get to feature on their website.
