The British Academy for Training and Development offers this training program in Safety, Security and Occupational Health in Construction Projects According to the OSHA System, delivered within a structured methodology designed to qualify participants to work efficiently and safely in construction environments, which are among the most complex and hazardous workplaces.

Occupational accidents, particularly in the construction sector, present an ongoing challenge for organizations, negatively affecting individual safety, productivity continuity, and overall performance. Hence, adopting international safety standards—primarily OSHA—is crucial as it serves as a global reference for preventing workplace accidents and providing a safe, organized working environment.

This program focuses on enabling participants to understand fundamental occupational safety and health principles, manage daily risks consciously, and apply preventive procedures at all stages of project execution. It also aims to instill a sustainable safety culture rather than merely ensuring temporary regulatory compliance.
