training boosts building sector

A Midland company is building on its online expertise to help contractors and sub-contractors in the construction industry secure work in the education sector.

Repairs and other building work at schools is often put out to tender in a rush after the funding is released but it demands high health and safety levels from all those employed on the project.

The problem facing contractors is that many do not have retained staff and have little or no time to train those taken on for the project who are not up to speed with health and safety guidelines.

Birmingham-based E Learning Health and Safety is offering construction employers and employees complete RoSPA approved online health and safety training.

The courses are emailed to the contractor who then ensures that when work starts all employees have been updated, and once completed the results and certificates are automatically stored for records and auditing purposes.

ELHS produces over 60 courses applicable to the construction industry ranging from manual handling and height safety to environmental awareness and asbestos safety.

For those where internet access is a problem, courses can be downloaded and stored so that training can take place at more appropriate locations.

Catherine Blake, ELHS business development manager, said: “The courses have been successfully introduced to building services and facilities management companies.

“Attention to health and safety while construction work is going on at schools and colleges is paramount and our courses offer an easily accessible way of keeping employees on top of all the obstacles and dangers surrounding building work.

“ELHS is an approved QBE supplier and is offering construction companies a free course to highlight the professional relevance of its products”.
