The right training is key for improving health and safety in the construction sector, one of the most highly regulated industries in the UK. 

Regular training will ensure that staff stay up-to-date with the latest techniques and technologies. It will also ensure their safety. Construction sites can be hazardous environments: without proper training, accidents and injuries can be common. 

Awareness of problems like asbestos can also be invaluable. A course in asbestos awareness only costs £25 but it can save hundreds of workers from being harmed.

All workers need to be aware of the latest safety protocols, how to use equipment properly, and how to identify and mitigate potential risks. In the long-term, this reduces the cost of a project, since work is less likely to need to be redone. Well-trained staff are more efficient and will produce higher quality work 

The construction industry is evolving rapidly. New technologies are being introduced all the time, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), drones, and advanced machinery. The right training ensures that workers can use these tools effectively and your company can stay as competitive as possible. 

Here at The Aven Training Partnership, we deliver NVQs from level 2 to level 7 and are suitable for Construction labourers, trades, supervisors to all levels of management. 

Our construction industry courses are ideal for those looking to obtain a green, blue, gold and black CSCS card. Construction NVQs are the recognised benchmark qualification for demonstrating competence in the construction industry, so are a valuable certification for your staff to have. 

As ‘competence-based’ qualifications, they teach practical, work-related tasks designed to help staff to develop the skills and knowledge to do their job effectively.
