In the high-risk arena of construction, ensuring the health and safety of workers isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a core business imperative. The modern construction site presents an array of hazards: working at heights, heavy machinery operation, excavation and trenching, electrical risks, scaffolding dangers, and environmental exposures. That’s why our 155-Hour Construction Safety & Health Course is designed to equip safety professionals, site supervisors, construction managers, and operations teams with comprehensive, industry-specific training to lead safe and compliant construction operations.
Course Overview
This intensive 155-hour training programme goes deep into the specialties of construction site safety and health management. It covers regulatory frameworks, hazard identification and control, emergency response, audit and inspection techniques, and building a safety culture on site. Participants will be prepared not only to recognise risk, but to manage it proactively and lead safety initiatives across multi-employer worksites.
Course Modules
The course is structured into multiple study units, each focusing on a critical area of construction safety:
Introduction to construction safety standards, legal framework and regulatory compliance.
Fall protection and scaffold safety: strategies to prevent falls and scaffold‐related incidents.
Personal protective equipment (PPE): selection, use, inspection and maintenance.
Excavation and trenching safety: risk assessment, shoring, sloping, shielding techniques.
Machine guarding and equipment safety: heavy machinery, mobile equipment, maintenance protocols.
Ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) prevention: safe manual handling and design of workstations.
Incident reporting, investigation and root-cause analysis: methods to learn from incidents and near-misses.
Emergency preparedness and fire safety: planning for fires, explosions, site evacuations and rescue.
Workplace environmental safety and hazardous materials management: handling, storage and disposal of dangerous substances.
Safety auditing and compliance inspections: conducting audits, identifying gaps and corrective actions.
Creating a safety culture and employee training: leadership, communication, engagement and continuous improvement.
