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-approved course written specifically for construction site managers and supervisory personnel. Delivered here as self-paced e-learning by Phoenix Health & Safety, it gives the people who run construction projects the knowledge and practical skills to manage safety, health and environmental responsibilities on site – without taking time away from the project to sit in a classroom.

The course explores the key legal duties placed on site managers and shows how to identify and control risks, promote a positive safety culture and make sure work is carried out safely and responsibly. It also covers environmental management in construction: how site activities affect the environment and the measures that reduce that impact. 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.

Learning is built around practical examples and real-world construction scenarios, so learners develop the confidence to make informed decisions, improve site performance and contribute to a safer, healthier and more sustainable workplace.

Who Is This Course For?

The course is ideal for anyone responsible for managing health, safety and environmental performance on construction sites in the UK or overseas, including:

• Site managers and assistant site managers
• Project managers
• Construction managers
• Contracts managers
• Site supervisors and other supervisory personnel
• Anyone who oversees contractors and subcontractors on site

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.
