IOSH SHE for Construction Site Managers Online (E-learning)

Site Safety, Health and Environmental Management Training You Can Study Online

IOSH Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Site Managers is the IOSH course written specifically for the people who run construction sites day to day. Delivered here as self-paced e-learning by Phoenix Health & Safety, an IOSH approved training provider, it gives site managers a structured way to plan work, control site risks and meet their legal duties – without taking time away from the project to sit in a classroom.

Where most management-level safety courses are written for any workplace, this one is built around construction: setting up and running a site, managing workers and contractors, the CDM Regulations 2015, working at height and the environmental impact of construction activity. Because safety, health and environmental responsibilities are covered together in one programme, it can save time and cost compared with taking separate safety and environmental courses.

Who Is This Course For?

The course is aimed at anyone who manages, or is preparing to manage, safety, health and environmental risk on construction projects in the UK or overseas, including:

• Construction site managers and assistant site managers
• Site supervisors and team leaders stepping up to management
• Project and contracts managers with responsibility for site operations
• Anyone who oversees contractors and subcontractors on site
• Those responsible for safety and environmental compliance on construction projects

There are no formal entry requirements and you do not need to be an IOSH member, but the course is written for people with management or supervisory responsibilities on site.

Delivery Method

Online / E-learning. Study at your own pace, in short sessions that fit around site commitments, from any location with an internet connection.

What Does the Course Cover?

• Legislation and enforcement – the legal framework that applies to construction projects and what it requires of a site manager
• Preparing for work – planning activities and putting safe working arrangements in place before work starts
• Managing sites, workers and contractors – supervision, contractor control, method statements and permits to work
• Environmental management – how construction affects the environment and how to manage those aspects and impacts through the life of a project
• CDM Regulations 2015 – the principles of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and how they shape site management
• Working at height – planning and risk assessment, roofs and fragile surfaces, scaffolds, working platforms, ladders and fall-arrest equipment
• Worker welfare – site welfare requirements and supporting the wellbeing of the workforce
