Health risks remain one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry. While safety often gets the attention it deserves, occupational health risks can be less visible but have life-changing consequences for workers and their families.
Exposure to dusts, fumes, noise, vibration, hazardous substances and other health hazards continues to contribute to long-term ill health across the sector. Preventing harm requires knowledge, leadership and practical action.
That’s why we deliver the BOHS Certificate in Controlling Health Risks in Construction.
This practical course is designed for those responsible for planning, supervising and managing construction activities and provides a clear understanding of:
✔ Common construction health hazards
✔ The principles of risk assessment and control
✔ Occupational hygiene and exposure management
✔ Health surveillance and monitoring
✔ Practical measures to prevent work-related ill health
Whether you’re a project manager, supervisor, health and safety professional or client representative, this qualification provides valuable knowledge to help create healthier construction workplaces.
Health risks are preventable. The first step is understanding them.
