Site Management & Supervision: How to Build Safety Into Your Projects

COURSE BACKGROUND

This BRAND NEW and engaging 1 DAY COURSE is aimed at those who have a duty to ensure that safety is being managed to a suitable and sufficient standard. A course designed to give confidence to the delegate to challenge – am I doing enough? – are those controlling the activities on my site doing enough?

A practical course that will demonstrate how simple considerations, challenges and actions; can achieve a high level of safety performance and benefit overall delivery of the project. The course will demonstrate that the planning for safety and managing safety need not be an obstruction to a successful project.

The course tools provided can be enhanced to the delegates’ own area of construction. The course is not an interpretation of legislation; it is a practical guide that can be applied to small or large, simple or complex, projects.
