Study the most important aspects of Construction safety in the workplace with this exclusive Construction Safety Level 7 Course from CPD Courses. Ensure your organisation complies with government legislation and provides a safe working environment for each and every member of the workforce.

Every employer on a global basis is legally obliged to watch over the Construction safety of its employees. Nevertheless, research would seem to suggest that workplace construction safety standards are still dangerously lacking. In the United Kingdom for example, an estimated 1.3 million working people suffer from a work-related illness. Millions of working days are lost every year due to work-related illness and workplace injuries, more than 70,000 injuries are reported annually and up to 150 workers die in workplace accidents and injuries every year. The unfortunate truth being that in almost every instance, workplace accidents, injuries and illnesses are entirely preventable. Nevertheless, workplace construction safety can only be truly maximised when each and every member of the workforce contributes equally to the cause.

This exclusive Workplace construction safety Course has been designed for anyone looking to become a more responsible member of the workforce. Every employee at every level should be aware of the most important workplace construction safety fundamentals, along with managers, team leaders, business owners and so on. From entry-level newcomers to the most experienced professionals, revisiting critical construction safety issues on a regular basis comes highly recommended.

Over the course of eighteen intensive yet accessible modules, candidates are provided with a broad introduction to workplace health and safety, along with the value of establishing a safe working culture. Hazard identification and management is also investigated in-depth, along with the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE), the importance of proactivity and how health and safety should form part of initial recruitment processes. Candidates also learn how to ensure their respective businesses and workplaces comply with all relevant laws and legislation.
