Diploma in Construction Health and Safety

In the UK, 1.7 million people suffer from work-related health and safety issues. From minor injuries to deaths, all occur at the workplace, and if proper health and safety guidelines are followed, these numbers can be reduced.

This situation is alarming and challenging for employers to incorporate better strategies for the health and safety of the workforce. Health and Safety at Work 1974 is an act of parliament that ensures high health and safety standards at workplaces in the UK.

Do you have a passion for construction? Do you want to learn more about your job’s health and safety aspects? If so, our construction health and safety course will help you get there.

Construction health and safety are an important part of the broader construction industry. It’s one of the most important areas to focus on when looking at your career path.

That’s why Inspire London College designed a professional development program to help you get a head start on everything you need to know about construction health and safety.

You’ll learn how to stay safe while working in construction, what hazards are out there, and how to avoid them. You’ll also learn how to spot potential problems before they happen, saving yourself (and others) time, money, and headaches in the long run.
