Construction work often takes place in hostile environments and could cause worker distraction resulting in overlooking of proper safety precautions which may lead to fatalities, injuries or damage to property and losses in its many varied forms.

The purpose of this programme is to enable learners to understand their contribution and responsibility towards compliance and liability in identifying hazards, assessing the risks and developing controls to mitigate the risk as well as to provide them with the essential occupational health and safety knowledge and skills to effectively execute their work related duties and understand legal implications.
