This Learning Zone has been designed specifically to support you through your training, and beyond.

At PCR Global we recognise the convenience that Virtual Classroom learning brings to both businesses and individuals. Through these sessions and this Learning Zone you will be able to study from the comfort of your own home/office and access a great deal more content than what is typically available for this course.

We have been using remote technology to support our clients and our own business operations since day one of starting the business and possess over 5 years experience conducting remote Audits, from the UK, with clients all over the world. We hope to utilise this experience to maximise the benefit of yours.

The popularity of Virtual Classroom learning has undoubtedly gained amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with most countries instigating nation-wide precautions such as lock-downs and social distancing. Furthermore it is extremely difficult to eliminate the risk of spread in a classroom environment.

To provide the best possible learning experience, that can continue to assist you both between and beyond online classroom sessions, we’ve developed this Learning Zone to allow you access to relevant information, support materials and an easy link to access the support of our risk management professionals.

We hope you find it beneficial!

Introduction

What is it, and who’s it for?

Our Commercial Health and Safety Awareness course has been specifically developed to target the construction industry, particularly to equip those involved in pre-construction operations (e.g. Quantity Surveyors, Estimators, Business Development) with an understanding of health and safety legislation and the duties imposed.

It aims to place those legal duties in the context of commercial roles and facilitate the engagement of those in such roles with the management of health and safety.  

The course will bring to light responsibilities placed on individuals under various legislation such as the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and how decisions made at the bidding stage of a project may lead to longer term health, safety and welfare concerns.
