Construction Safety

The Construction Safety course will teach you the fundamentals for building a safe workplace that is appropriate for your construction company. The course assists in familiarizing participants with governing regulations and Certificate of Recognition (COR) audit requirements.

Participants will also build practical skills for supervising construction worksites, conducting toolbox talks, providing health and safety training, conducting regular safety inspections, doing safety investigations where an accident occurs and designing a safety manual.

Our courses are a series of user friendly video modules from expert instructors. The courses are self-paced and allow you to decide when you want to learn, and how quickly you want to work through the material.

Courses are divided into modules that contain expert instructional videos, access to slides with narration, and interactive exercises. Each module concludes with a short, multiple choice quiz of questions and answers that requires an 80% pass mark before proceeding to the next video module.

Upon successful completion of all modules you will receive a certificate of completion.
