This free health and safety in construction course runs for three weeks and covers the core safety knowledge you need before starting work on a construction site. You'll study hazard awareness, risk control, and the rules that keep workers safe. Entry requirements vary by location, so the centre will confirm what applies to you.

What you will learn

  • You'll identify common hazards found on construction sites.
  • You'll understand how risk assessments are used to protect workers.
  • You'll learn the health and safety laws and regulations that apply to construction work.
  • You'll recognise safe working practices for different construction tasks.
  • You'll understand your responsibilities as a worker under health and safety law.
  • You'll learn how to respond to accidents and emergencies on site.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions at Southwark Construction Skills Centre. Teaching covers health and safety theory through tutor-led instruction and group activities. Assessment is by a written test or short-answer questions that check your understanding of the key topics. No practical placement is required for this Award.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Southwark Construction Skills Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Construction labourer. Entry-level site work once you hold a CSCS card.
  • Groundworker. Drainage, foundations, and earthworks on construction sites.
  • Construction operative. General site tasks across housebuilding and civil projects.
  • Site assistant. Supporting trades and site management with day-to-day tasks.

What you could study next

This Level 1 Award is a stepping stone into further construction training. Many learners go on to a Level 2 NVQ in a specific trade such as bricklaying, plastering, or carpentry. You may also want to work toward a CSCS card, which most construction employers require before you start on site. A Level 2 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment builds directly on what you learn here.
