Training Details
Construction Safety
Construction workers are exposed to a variety of health hazards every day. Therefore, this course contain the relevant information associated with construction hazard i.e. the biological health hazards -construction workers may find, such as exposure to mold, poisonous plants, and infected animals; the chemical, environmental, physical health hazards - construction workers may find, such as exposure to silica, asbestos, hazardous chemicals, excessive noise, and extreme temperatures.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this training is to ensure that by the end of the course, you should be able to accomplish each of the learning objectives listed in each module.
