Description

In this training you will learn how to stay safe on your residential construction worksite, understand your responsibilities in relation to health and safety, and increase awareness of everyone in your workplace.

Our training is comparative to others on the market, covering general health and safety on residential construction sites.

Having awareness of workplace safety and being well-prepared and knowledgeable of hazards is key to avoiding incidents. Having workplace safety awareness is pre-planning and preparing for hazards in the workplace.

Our Workplace Safety Awareness course could also be used as an induction for a new staff member or a refresher for staff after an incident has occurred as it has detailed information on a range of different topics.
