The Health and Safety Awareness course is for anyone who has just started working in the construction or wants to know more.
Starting from first principles, the course is designed to raise awareness of basic matters of health and safety which new entrants to the industry will encounter whilst carrying out day to day duties.
Areas of study where candidates will gain knowledge and skills:
* Individual responsibilities – covering all aspects of personal safety and the individual’s responsibility to contribute towards a safe environment for others.
* Typical construction hazards – how to recognise them and how such hazards can be effectively controlled.
* Safe working community – how all workers can support and help to improve practical site-safety standards in the daily work environment.
* Statutory requirements – the broad scope of health and safety legislation addressing hazards in the workplace environment, and the legal liabilities of all who work there.
* Working at height – the special risks associated with working above the ground, and the safe working practices which should be adopted to avoid fatalities and major injuries.
* Manual Handling – the risks to workers and potential risks to others (manual handling is responsible for a third of all workplace injuries), plus safe working practices to minimise the risks.
* Fire prevention – recognising the special risks posed by workplace fires, and the safe working practices designed to avoid fires and minimise the consequences when a fire does occur.
* Work equipment – generic risks associated with operating tools and machinery, plus safe working practices to minimise the risk of accident and injury.
* Occupational Health – a look at common health issues associated with the impact of work on your health, such as work-related diseases, and how worker fitness should always match the demands of the job.
