IOSH SHE for Construction Workers

Essential Site Safety Training: IOSH SHE for Construction Workers

The IOSH SHE for Construction Workers course is a practical, entry-level health and safety training programme developed by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Designed specifically for construction site workers and operatives, this short course provides essential knowledge on site safety, environmental protection, and health responsibilities. It covers key areas such as hazard identification, working at height, PPE, risk control, and waste management — helping workers stay safe and comply with CDM Regulations and UK legislation. Ideal for those working on new builds, refurbishments, civil engineering, or infrastructure projects, the IOSH SHE course supports safer site behaviour and helps employers meet legal requirements across the construction industry.

For managers rather than operatives, see IOSH SHE for Construction Site Managers. A common first step is the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment course. See the full Construction & Engineering range.
