Construction Certificate (NEBOSH) 18 days
The Building Safety Group are an accredited and leading training provider of the NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety qualification.
Who is it for?
Supervisors, managers and CDM co-ordinators within the construction industry who are required to ensure that activitiesunder their control are undertaken safely. The qualification is also appropriate for supervisors working in other industries such as utilities, and even broadcasting, where temporary workplaces are afeature of their activities.
The programme of study broadly mirrors that of the National General Certificate. However, due to the specific nature of the award, the opportunity arises to cover key construction issues in rather more technical detail than would be appropriate for a general health and safety award. The Construction Certificate therefore contains additional units and requires a slightly longer programme of study than its counterpart. It is thus designed to cover general health and safety issues within a construction context as well as placing emphasis on the specific construction issues that make the industry amongst the most dangerous in which to work.
What are the benefits for employers?
Many larger construction organisations choose the NEBOSH National Construction Certificate as a key part of their supervisory or management development programme. By ensuring that line managers have a sound understanding of the principles of risk management they build an effective safety culture in the company.
Owners or managers of smaller consultancy companies will find this qualification helps t hem to meet the requirements of clients and principal contractors when working on other people's premises or sites.
Length of Study?
The duration of study for the Construction Certificate is a minimum of 108 hours plus private study and background reading. The 20 units are run over 15 days with an extra 3 days for practical assessment and examinations. We take this time to ensure a fantastic pass success rate – in fact, many students walk away with credits or distinctions.
How is the course assessed?
The examinations are comprised of two 2-hour written papers. Paper 1 ('The management of safety and health in construction work') addresses primarily Units 1-9. Paper 2 ('Controlling construction workplace hazards') addresses primarily Units 10-20. The practical assessment consists of carrying out a health and safety inspection of a construction site, or part of a site, and preparing a management report.
