Building safely, from the ground up.
Construction appears across more Eduforce programmes than any other sector — from scaffolding and rope access through to lifting operations, fire response and emergency preparedness.
Safety context in construction.
Construction sites change daily. New trades arrive, structures rise, access routes move, and the hazard picture moves with them. Competence has to be portable enough to travel with the workforce.
The previous Eduforce website names construction for scaffolding erection and dismantling, scaffolding inspection, evacuation and fire fighting, forklift and crane operations, emergency preparedness, roof top safety, rope access, rigging and slinging, electrical safety, manual handling and defensive driving.
What this industry has to manage.
Working at height
The dominant risk on most sites, spanning scaffolds, edges, roofs and temporary access.
Scaffolding integrity
Erection, dismantling and competent inspection determine whether a scaffold is safe to use at all.
Lifting operations
Cranes, rigging and slinging concentrate risk into short, high-consequence windows.
Emergency response
Fire, evacuation and first aid response on an active site with multiple contractors present.
How we support this industry.
- Fall protection cascade from worker awareness to rescue competency

A practical, competency-focused approach
Training is tailored to the industry and working method, and carries the essential skills and knowledge needed to operate a safe working system in the activity concerned.
Programmes run from worker level through to management, are formulated around the client's own requirement, and can be delivered at the Eduforce training centre or on the client's site by a trained on-site demonstration and trainer team.
