Occupational Health & Safety Training Program
Program Objectives
- Provide participants with in-depth understanding of health and safety risks specific to construction sites.
- Teach how to identify, assess, and control construction-specific hazards (e.g., falls, scaffolding, excavation, heavy equipment).
- Ensure compliance with relevant legislation and safety standards (national/ international).
- Build capacity for safety management on-site, including safety planning, audits, and emergency preparedness.
- Promote a culture of safety through worker participation,
1. Target Audience
- Construction site workers (laborers, machine operators)
- Foremen, supervisors, site managers, and project engineers
- Safety Officers / OHS professionals working in construction
- Contractors, subcontractors, and design/project management teams.
- Health and safety coordinators who oversee construction site operations.
2. Delivery Methods
- In‑person training (classroom + site-based) for practical skill development.
- Online / e-learning modules for theory, legislation, and risk management.
- Workshops and hands-on exercises, such as risk assessment workshops.
- Toolbox talks / micro-sessions on site, for regular reinforcement of safety practices.
3. Key Modules / Content Areas
Here are the core topics that the program should cover:
Introduction & Regulatory Framework
- Construction safety foundations, key laws, regulations, and standards.
Risk Assessment & Hazard Identification
- Identifying construction hazards (fall, excavation, scaffolding), conducting risk assessments, job hazard analysis (JHA).
Control Measures
- Implementing the hierarchy of controls (engineering, administrative, PPE), safety planning.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Types of PPE for construction, correct usage, maintenance.
Construction Site Operations
- Safety for heavy machinery, scaffolding, working at heights, excavation, demolition.
Occupational Hygiene & Health Risks
- Exposure to dust/chemicals, noise, ergonomic risks, health surveillance.
Emergency Preparedness & Response
- First aid, fire safety, evacuation, rescue, emergency planning.
Incident Reporting & Investigation
- How to report near-misses, investigate accidents, find root causes.
Safety Management & Audits
- Developing safety programs, conducting inspections, audits, continuous improvement.
Safety Culture & Communication
- Toolbox talks, safety leadership, worker involvement, training culture.
Duration & Frequency
Why This Scope Is Important for Construction
Evaluation & Certification
- Customized training: (e.g., “Construction Safety and Health / COSH”) over 5 days.
- Refresher training: Periodic refreshers based on incidents, regulatory changes, or site-specific needs.
- Orientation training: One-day site safety orientation for all workers before starting on the construction site.
Evaluation & Certification
Why This Scope Is Important for Construction
Evaluation & Certification
- Pre‑ and post-training assessments to measure knowledge and retention.
- Practical assessments / demonstrations (e.g., PPE use, risk assessment, JHA).
- Training records and documentation to support compliance and audits.

Why This Scope Is Important for Construction
- Construction sites are high-risk environments — tailored training ensures that the specific hazards are addressed.
- Helps reduce accidents and injuries, improving both safety performance and project productivity.
- Promotes legal compliance and helps avoid fines or shutdowns.
- Builds a proactive safety culture, where workers are more engaged and aware of risks.
- Supports sustainable safety practices via continuous improvement rather than a one-off training.
