Aims
The course aims to give those who are about to work, or
have just begun to work in the industry an
understanding of the potential hazards they face on site.
The course provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and
environmental issues, identifying the delegate’s responsibility for looking after
themselves and others, outlines the employer’s duties and explains 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.
