BWI Health and Safety Director, Fiona Murie, is co-author (together with Professor Richard Neale of Glamorgan University) of the ILO’s new training package on Health and Safety in Construction.

The overall aim was to compile a comprehensive international Occupational Safety & Health (OS&H) training package, made available in the public domain by the ILO. The training package is relevant to a global audience and applicable in a variety of legislative environments and construction projects, and is tailor made for the construction sector. The materials address the main ‘participant groups’ within the sector: Construction Clients; Construction Project Management Teams; Construction Contractors; Construction Workers and Trade Unions.

The materials consist of :
Tutors’ Guide. This is the core of Construction OS&H because it explains the content of the package and how to use it.

Knowledge Base. This provides the sources and reference materials of all the content of the package in a digital form. The Knowledge Base also includes Downloads of some of the main sources of information.

Theme Summaries. Construction OS&H has 15 Theme Summaries, in digital form, which are extensively illustrated and provide the whole educational content of the programme.

Theme PowerPoint Presentations (PPPs). A PPP has been compiled from each Theme Summary, which provides the main means by which the information in the Themes will be presented.

The Training materials web pages are available by clicking here.
