Construction Health and Safety Courses

Manual Handling Online Training Course

Whether your team is carrying delivery boxes or handling heavy equipment, knowing how to lift and carry properly can help prevent injury and strains. Our Manual Handling course teaches you basic postural awareness, correct handling techniques, how to choose the right mechanical aids, and potential risks.

Slips, Trips and Falls Online Training Course

This training course will help raise your team's awareness about potential hazards on-site that can cause dangerous slips, trips, or falls. Our comprehensive online course will introduce control measures that will help prevent or minimise the probability of dangerous occurrences and teach how to spot, assess, and report risks.

Working at Heights Online Training Course

Working at heights happens almost daily on many construction sites. Even if you are working as little as two metres off the ground, or if you are working on top of a ten-storey building, you must have adequate training to meet 2005 regulations. Our Working at Heights course will give you the proper knowledge to carry out tasks at any height safely. If you want to learn more about when training is required for working at heights, read one of our recent blog posts. The linked post discusses the importance of training, whether it is a legal requirement, and what you can learn when undertaking a course.

First Aid at Work Online Training

Whilst more in-depth first aid training may be required for senior staff members on site, having basic first aid knowledge benefits everyone. In the First Aid at Work course, your staff will learn how to manage an accident scene, perform CPR, provide basic medical assistance to casualties, and accurately document medical details and vital information.

Asbestos Awareness Online Training Course

Many of your employees on a construction site may not be aware of the extent of materials that contain dangerous asbestos fibres, which could cause them to be disturbed. This course is especially important if your team is working on premises built before 2002.

We offer a comprehensive suite of health and safety courses for the construction industry, carefully crafted with 20 years of experience in the health and safety sector. 

Our Online Training Courses are the perfect solution to ensure your employees are adequately trained in the correct techniques. With our courses, you can rest assured that your staff will have the knowledge to help prevent injuries and accidents in the workplace.

Who Is Responsible For Health and Safety On A Construction Site?

As an employer, you and your main contractors are responsible for ensuring the health and safety of your team, in whatever form that may take. Your staff should also report risks as needed, use the correct equipment, and adhere to the latest best practices.

What Is The Importance Of Construction Phase Plans?

Alongside health and safety training courses, you must also have the correct documents to keep within the laws and regulations. Construction phase plans should be completed for all construction projects, regardless of their size. A construction phase plan outlines everyone involved in the project, all possible risks on site, and the control measures in place to mitigate them. If you’d like to learn more about why you should complete a construction phase plan and what they should include, read one of our informative blog posts - ’What is a Construction Phase Plan?’.

Are the Construction Industry Health and Safety Courses Recognised By Governing Bodies?

Yes, they are. All of the courses from HSE Docs, where applicable, are widely recognised by authorities and most corporate employers throughout the UK. OTAVS recognises some of our online health and safety courses for the construction industry.
