About IOSH SHE Construction Site Managers

The IOSH SHECSM training course is designed for anyone with managerial duties that works in construction.
Why is IOSH SHE Construction Site Managers Important?
The construction sector has statistically poor health and safety records. The rate of fatality in the industry is almost four times that across other injuries.
Some 81,000 suffer from work-related ill health in construction and 61,000 non-fatal injuries per year, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Any organisation operating in the construction sector has a moral responsibility to do its part to prevent construction site accidents and ill health from occurring. Along with this, comes a legal and financial obligation to do so. Failure to properly manage the hazards on a construction site can result in serious fines and imprisonment, as well as irreparable damage to organisations.
