Overview/Who Should Attend
This one-day course is designed to aid the
understanding of potential hazards the construction worker may 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; outlining the employer’s duties; and
explaining 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.
This course is also an alternative route to the QCF
Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment for the CSCS
Labourer Card.
The HSA course provides health and safety awareness
and is endorsed by Build UK as standard training for all operatives on site.
