Introduction

This course is delivered in association with Phoenix Health and Safety.

The construction industry undoubtedly has a significant impact on the environment, from physical build and excavation, to the management of waste and pollution. However, with more information available to us than ever before, there are clear steps we can take to manage the impact and take social responsibility for the work we carry out.

The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is a leading global provider of health, safety and environmental qualifications. With internationally recognised qualifications, NEBOSH aims to increase the competence of safety and environmental professionals and individuals at all levels in the workplace. 

This NEBOSH Environmental Management course teaches delegates about environmental and social responsibility and how to make a positive impact in their work.

Course Outline

Case studies, relatable scenarios, and discussions combined with a workplace practical take delegates through environmental impact and challenges in our industry.

Delegates will complete the assessment in two parts:

• Unit EMC1 - written examination downloaded, completed, and submitted in 24 hours

Delegates must pass the assessment to receive a NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate.
