Course Information
Our 2 day Construction Safety course is a highly interactive course with a specific emphasis on safe working at heights.
Investigations by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment into falls while working at height show that more than 50 percent of falls are from less than three metres and approximately 70 percent of falls are from ladders and roofs. The cost of these falls is estimated to be $24 million a year – to say nothing of the human cost as a result of these falls.
This course will ensure students have the knowledge and skills to enter the workforce with a strong understanding of safety.
