The Health and Safety at Work Act, 1974 requires an employer to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the Health and Safety at work of its employees. Within legislation this has been further galvanised in CDM which provides more clarification regarding the duty of care of employers to its employees and specifies particular qualifications for supervisors before they are deemed competent.
The course covers all of the typical health and safety issues expected from such a detailed course but also includes health and safety aspects more relevant to drilling and geotechnical site work.
