Controlling Site Hazards From Groundworks to Handover
Construction remains one of the highest-hazard industries in the Gulf, where falls, struck-by events, excavation collapse and heat stress drive the incident record. This course builds hands-on capability in site setup, method statements, high-risk activity control, inspections and toolbox talks, so safety professionals can run a credible site safety program.
What You Will Learn
The main objectives of the course are:
- Explain why construction is a high-hazard industry.
- Apply OSHA, CDM and international construction standards.
- Lead safety culture across a multilingual workforce.
- Plan site setup, logistics and welfare facilities.
- Control the Focus Four construction hazards.
- Prevent falls and specify fall-arrest systems.
- Inspect and tag scaffolding correctly.
- Protect excavations through sloping, shoring and shielding.
- Plan lifting operations and manage site traffic.
- Control confined space entry and permit-to-work.
- Manage silica, dust, PPE and worker wellbeing.
