The NEBOSH National Construction Certificate is aimed at

industry who are required to ensure that activities under their
control are undertaken safely. It is likely to prove useful for
those concerned with the management of buildings who may need to
ensure that contractors are working safely. The qualification is
also appropriate for supervisors and managers working in other industries
such as utilities, and even broadcasting, where temporary workplaces
are a feature of their activities.

chemical & biological, physical & psychological, working
at height, excavation work & confined spaces & demolition.
- Successfully carry out a safety inspection of
a construction workplace identifying hazards, recommending control
measures and preparing a management report.

assessed separately:
- Management of health and safety (NGC1)
- Managing and controlling hazards in construction
activities (NCC1)
