NEBOSH Construction Certificate training
NEBOSH Construction Certificate
Introduction
The NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety has been offered since 1989 and is established as a leading health and safety qualification for the construction industry, with over 8,000 successful candidates.
The National Construction Certificate is designed for supervisors and managers within the construction industry and is designed to provide sound breadth of underpinning knowledge that enables them to discharge more effectively their duties with respect to health and safety in construction activities. The qualification is referenced within the Pproved Code of Practice (ACoP) for Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 as a key knowledge indicator when assessing Stage 1 competence for CDM co-ordinators.
Benefits for Employers
Accidents and work-related ill-health affect all types of workplaces and occupations. However, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reported that the construction industry suffered the largest amounts of fatal injuries of all sectors in 2008/9.
In addition to the direct costs of sick pay and absence, employers can find themselves dealing with criminal prosecution, claims for compensation, adverse publicity and harm to both business reputation and profitability. The cost to employers of injury and ill-health has been put at between £3.9 and £7.8 billion a year, with country's annual sick pay bill (for ill health and injury) estimated at £1.27 billion (HSE).
The vast majority of occupational injuries, incidents and ill-health are avoidable by good health and safety management. By saving money, improving productivity and raising workforce morale, effective health and safety management should be recognised as an essential element of a successful management strategy.
Many larger construction organisations choose the NEBOSH National Construction Certificate as a key part of their supervisors' or management development programme. By ensuring that line managers have sound understanding of the principles of risk management they build an effective safety culture of the company. Smaller construction organisations, often choose the NEBOSH National Construction Certificate as the appropriate qualification for the manager taking the lead on health and safety issues.
The NEBOSH National Construction Certificate meets the academic requirements for Technician membership (Tech IOSH) of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).
