Course description
What is the NEBOSH Construction Certificate?
The NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction Certificate is one of the UK’s most widely respected and in-demand health and safety qualifications for the construction industry, teaching in line with the UK HSE's (Health and Safety Executive) guidance.
Covering the core health and safety issues involved in construction, the Certificate provides candidates with the practical skills and technical knowledge to manage hazards, identify, and assess risks in a construction workplace.
Enrolling staff on this course enables industry employers to improve the safety culture within their organisation, aiding them in minimising workplace risks and injuries. This also allows your business to comply with the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations.
The NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK) is now a Level 7 qualification according to the SCQF Framework. This means the CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) will continue to recognise this qualification in future for CSCS card applicants.
