Overview

Please note that the starting date of the course is now Monday 23rd February due to speakers' availiabilities.

A useful course consisting of five sessions to develop knowledge and understanding of health, safety, and wellbeing in Civil Engineering. Delivered by industry experts, this course is designed for those progressing towards professional engineering registration and will help develop attributes in this area. The course aims to provide an in-depth understanding of UK health and safety culture, the associated legislation, and regulations, how health and safety can be managed through design and construction and summarises the above through a case study in the final session.

The online sessions are carried out on Monday evenings for five consecutive weeks as scheduled below.

Each session will be hosted via Microsoft Teams Webinars. Joining instructions will be issued the week before, to the email address you have registered with, where session titles and speakers will also be detailed. For any session you cannot attend in person, a recording will be made available to you for a limited time so that you can catch up on the content you missed.

Attending this course contributes directly towards your Continuing Professional Development. We will issue you a certificate soon after the last session, provided you have attended all sessions either at each live event or from watching the recordings. An attendance register will be taken during each session.

Please note that this course will cost £30 for members, £15 for students and £60 for non-members (price inc. VAT). The event is FREE if you are an ICE student member from one of ICE's Academic Partner universities.

Discounted fees are available for group bookings of 2 + delegates from the same organisation.
