Who Should Attend?
This one-day course is designed to help those who are about to work, or have just begun to work in the industry to understand the potential hazards they face on site. It provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, identifying the delegate’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others, outlines the employer’s duties and explains what should be done if the worker thinks that anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk. The course is an ideal foundation for those wishing to obtain an industry accreditation card.
A natural progression from this course would be to attend The Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme or a Supervisor Specialist Skills course.
