About this course

Free Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment Course in Worksop. Classes run at North Notts College, full-time during the day. The course covers the health and safety knowledge you need to work safely on construction sites. You'll study hazard awareness, risk control, and the legal responsibilities that apply to construction workers. The course typically takes one year. City and Guilds award this qualification, and employers in construction recognise it as a solid foundation.

Who this course is for

The course is designed for entrants to roles in which they want to develop their skills, progression and/or career opportunities in this field or area. Please see the RNN Group course website for further information and advice.

What you will learn

  • You'll identify common hazards found on construction sites
  • You'll understand the legal duties that apply to workers and employers under health and safety law
  • You'll learn how to assess and control risks in a construction environment
  • You'll recognise safe working practices for manual handling, working at height, and use of equipment
  • You'll understand how to report accidents, incidents, and near misses
  • You'll learn about personal protective equipment and when it must be used

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at North Notts College. Assessment is through a written test or short-answer questions set by City and Guilds. Your tutor will guide you through the topics in class, and you'll be assessed on your understanding of health and safety principles in a construction setting.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. North Notts College will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Construction labourer - entry-level site work with safety awareness
  • Groundworker - outdoor civil engineering and groundworks roles
  • Construction operative - general site duties across trade areas
  • Maintenance operative - building upkeep in commercial or residential settings
  • Demolition operative - site clearance with strict safety requirements
  • Stores and logistics operative - materials handling on construction sites

What you could study next

Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment (City and Guilds) - builds on this qualification and deepens your knowledge of site safety management. A Level 2 NVQ in a construction trade such as bricklaying, carpentry, or groundwork is a natural next step if you want to specialise. These qualifications move you toward a CSCS card, which most construction employers require before you work on site.
