NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK)

CDM Duties, Construction Hazards, Site Leadership and CN1 Assessment Practice

PLAN | COORDINATE | CONTROL | CHALLENGE | BUILD SAFELY

Construction safety is not created by paperwork after work begins. It is determined through the decisions made during design, procurement, planning, mobilisation and daily site coordination.

NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK) — Study and Site Reference Companion is a substantial independent guide for learners completing the Level 7 CN1 qualification and for construction professionals who need a practical workplace reference after qualification.

Written by experienced operational and safety leader Robert Porter, the book connects UK construction law and NEBOSH assessment knowledge with the realities of managing live projects, contractors, design changes and high-risk site activities.

The book provides detailed coverage of:

CDM 2015 and the six principal dutyholder roles

Pre-construction information and design-risk management

Construction phase planning

Contractor competence and coordination

RAMS, permits and safe systems of work

Excavation, demolition and structural stability

Work at height and scaffolding

Lifting operations, cranes and mobile plant

Electrical and fire safety

Hazardous substances and occupational health

Incident investigation and site assurance

Worker engagement, leadership and safety culture

Dedicated CN1 sections explain how to interpret scenario evidence, respond to command words, construct distinct technical points and justify practical recommendations. Every major subject is supported by a paired site scenario, allowing learners to practise applying knowledge rather than merely remembering it.

A sixteen-form toolkit includes a CDM dutyholder matrix, construction phase plan review, design-risk register, RAMS challenge checklist, temporary-works register, excavation inspection, lifting-plan review, traffic-management audit and closing-interview planner.

This book is equally suitable for:

NEBOSH construction learners

Site and contracts managers

Project managers

Principal Contractors

Supervisors

Health and safety advisers

Facilities managers controlling construction projects

Qualified practitioners moving into construction

Safe construction is designed, planned and coordinated—not discovered after something goes wrong.
