The Builders Regulations and SHA Planning
Understand the requirements and responsibilities of the builder regulations.
Audience
The course is aimed at builders, project managers, designers, coordinators, consultants, contractors and others who are responsible for planning, coordinating or following up safety, health and work environment (SHA) in construction projects. It is suitable for both the private and public sectors and provides the necessary expertise in line with the Building Regulations and the Labour Inspectorate's guidance on safety, health and working environment.
Learning objectives
The course provides participants with practical and regulation-based insight into how the building regulations should be understood and complied with in practice. Through theory, examples, case assignments and summary tests, participants learn how to plan, follow up and document SHA work in a structured and effective way. Participants gain a holistic understanding of how roles, responsibilities and risk assessment affect safety in projects, from planning to completion, and how the SHA plan is used as an active management tool to prevent accidents and ensure compliance.
After completing the course you will be able to
- Explain the purpose and scope of the Builders Regulation
- Know the main roles and their duties: builder, coordinator, designer, employer and one-man company
- Develop, implement and follow up on SHA plans in line with requirements
- Conducting risk assessments and identifying risk conditions in different project phases
- Plan and coordinate work at concurrency and critical phases
- Apply principles of systematic HSE work and SHA follow-up in practice
- Dealing with discrepancies, supervision and improvement efforts to strengthen the safety culture
- Understand how good interaction, information flow and clear roles reduce risk
- Using practical cases and experiences to improve the safety of your own projects
Important to note
This e-learning course provides theoretical and practical introduction to builder regulations and how SHA planning can be implemented in projects. The course does not replace the company's or project's own duties to plan, organise and implement the SHA work in the specific building or construction project.
This means that you also need to make sure that:
- SHA plan, risk assessments, progress plans and measures are actually prepared project-specific, updated upon changes and actively used in implementation.
- Roles and responsibilities are clarified and documented in the project, including the necessary appointment of a coordinator and assessment of competencies where applicable.
- Practical follow-up is carried out at the construction site, such as pre-start reviews, conservation rounds, coordination at concurrency, SJA in case of risky work, deviation management and documented improvement work.
- Necessary training and information is provided to workers, employees and subcontractors, and that internal HSE systems and the project's SHA requirements are interrelated in practice.
That means you'll need to combine this course with your company's internal routines, project management documents, and hands-on follow-up to get a full SHA implementation in line with the requirements.
