Anyone who is acting in a supervisory or management role on a construction site is legally required to undertake health and safety training to help create a safe working environment. This course is intended for project managers, site managers and site supervisors as well as proprietors of small to medium sized companies. Client-based personnel would also benefit from attending the course.
