IOSH Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Site Managers

Managing safety & health in construction

There are few work environments more challenging than a construction site. Our superb course equips construction site managers to meet their responsibilities and to recognise the opportunities that a clear focus on safety, health and the environment
can deliver.

The course will meet the needs of your business within a timescale to suit you. This flexible course will demonstrate how a focus on effective safety and health management will improve efficiency and the wellbeing of your staff.

Delegates will learn how to manage every aspect of the site, but not with the aim of becoming specialist environmental or safety and health professionals themselves. Instead they will be taught the techniques to ensure that all requirements are correctly implemented. As an example, we do not intend to teach you how to write a COSHH assessment, but we will make sure you can understand it and implement it effectively.

We understand your role and the crucial information you need to do your job effectively.

Who is the course suitable for?

Anyone who oversees or manages safety, health and environmental risks associated with construction activities.
