Health and Safety training for construction
The field of the Security and health is constantly evolving, and more, in the construction and works sector for its high risks.
It involves constant training by technicians that is not always easy to achieve. Even the European Union recognizes that there are important deficiencies, and, more so, with the new "green jobs" that are entering strongly.
At this point, the European Commission (EC), in cooperation with other entities, decided to develop a strategic framework to improve education in Safety and Health in Construction.
To resolve this situation, enter the international training platform Construction Blueprint led by the Construction Labor Foundation in Spain, where we can find the course Health and Safety Construction Blueprint.
A free learning that is designed on its own and as a self-assessment with different videos, cards, diagrams and activities to be carried out by the user.
The Health and Safety online course is in different languages, including Spanish, divided into three main sections; Materials, Operations and Waste, with different modules
MODULE 1: MATERIALS
- Insulation materials
- Finishing materials
- Bituminous materials
- Sustainable materials
MODULE 2: OPERATIONS
- Isolation Operations
- Inverted Green Roofs
- Renewable Energy Systems
MODULE 3: WASTE
- Construction and demolition waste
- Handling of non-hazardous and inert waste
- Hazardous waste handling
Each of the previous sections are divided into different chapters. For example, insulating materials include: Thermal insulation materials and against humidity, prevention and protection, mineral sheets, expanded and extruded polystyrene, polyethylene, polyurethane and sealing materials.

An interesting topic of the Construction Blueprint website is the training plan announced for September 2022 (No firm date). Free courses for students and workers in the construction sector In the areas of Energy Efficiency, Circular Economy and Digitization, we will let you know!
For all those who want to get into a more technical training for Spain or get to know the latest news in the sector, we recommend taking a tour of the Lineal Prevention website of the Construction Labor Foundation.
Above all, in its resources section, where you will find everything from regulations to excellent guides in PDF format that are very useful. An example:
In fact, from that website is where we find the series of informative posters on safety at work that we can use in the works.
The study of Health and Safety in the architecture sector is convoluted, extensive and with a multitude of regulations that constantly change. So any option to keep up to date is welcome.
