Why this course?
Occupational health and safety in construction is crucial due to the high-risk nature of the industry. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the construction sector has one of the highest rates of workplace injuries and fatalities in the UK. In fact, in 2019/20, there were 40 fatal injuries in construction, accounting for 28% of all workplace fatalities.
Ensuring the health and safety of construction workers not only saves lives but also reduces costs for employers. The HSE estimates that workplace injuries and ill health cost the UK economy around £16.2 billion in 2019/20.
With the construction industry projected to grow by 7% over the next decade, according to the Office for National Statistics, the demand for occupational health and safety professionals in construction is expected to increase. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs in occupational health and safety are projected to grow by 4% over the next decade.
It is essential for construction companies to prioritize occupational health and safety to protect their workers, reduce costs, and comply with regulations. By investing in proper safety measures and training, companies can create a safer work environment and improve overall productivity.
