The Dangers of Construction Dust Certificate

Construction dust is not merely a nuisance in the workplace – it can also cause silicosis, lung cancer and other serious health problems. It is therefore essential that anyone who works in dusty environments understands the risks and how to mitigate them.

This course contains a detailed overview of the various types of dust commonly encountered in the workplace, along with practical steps employers and workers need to take in order to reduce the risks associated with dust exposure.

  • What construction dust is made of, how different forms of dust are classified, the activities that produce construction dust and the short and long-term risks of dust exposure.
  • How Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) (2002) protect workers from dust exposure and what employers need to do in order to meet their obligations under the law.
  • How Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) can reduce the risk of harmful dust exposure and how to choose the best RPE for the job.
  • Why health surveillance is useful in safeguarding worker health and how to implement an effective health surveillance programme that monitors employees who are exposed to silica dust.

Benefits of Taking This Course

  • If you are an employer, you will benefit from learning how to uphold worker health and safety and meet your obligations under the law.
  • If you work in dusty environments, this course will help you understand the potential risks to your health and empower you to stay safe at work.
  • If you are interested in occupational health, particularly in the construction industry, the information in this course will help you understand the key health consequences of construction dust exposure.

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.

I am only 5 modules in to the course but is delivering above what I expected. Content is well explained and easy to digest and I like that I can do it at my own rate and without time pressure.

I have a dace agree that covers anatomy etc and this has been an thorough refresher for me. Highly recommended. (Well priced too.)

Arran Selhi

Amazing course! Clear training videos and everything you need to know to become a nail tech! I'm so pleased I decided to do this. It's put me on track to work for myself and own my own business

Kelly Goulding

This course has changed my life. It has opened a lot of door and when I apply for jobs it adds distinction to my CV.

It is easy to take time out after work or on a Sunday and it never gets boring. Your mind is filled with new skills and more information that you would love too use in the real world.

I cannot fault this course. I am now applying for University and completing this course will show how dedicated I am to learning.

Faith Bologun

It is quite an interesting course! I have learnt a lot since I have seen the precise explanation and video illustration, and I have enough time to learn so well as I did it in my own pace. I've fully understood the whole concept on each module. By the time I've finished the last module, I'm quite prepared for the exam because everything I've learnt has already been absorbed into my mind. Even once I've finished the course, I'm looking forward to learn more by reviewing the course again. Now, I can properly apply the techniques into our massage spa business.

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 – CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life.

Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design.

This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules.
