Architectural Atlas: Construction Health & Safety

Course Description

This comprehensive health-and-safety module provides architects, designers, builders, and construction professionals with a clear and practical understanding of the essential safety principles governing modern construction practice. The course introduces the regulatory framework, key definitions, and field-level applications of Health and Safety Programs while strengthening competency in hazard recognition, workplace inspections, and safe equipment operation.

Participants will develop a strong foundation in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), environmental hazard management, lockout/tagging procedures, fire safety protocols, traffic control, and the safe use of hand tools and power tools commonly found on residential and light-construction sites. Emphasis is placed on practical, real-world application rather than high-level technical theory, equipping learners with actionable knowledge that directly improves field safety, minimizes risk, and supports healthier, code-aligned project environments.
