Construction health and safety eLearning courses
Whether you are preparing for an HSE inspection or responding to a recent incident, Access eLearning's Construction Specialist Compliance: Level 2 bundle gives every role on site, from site operative to project manager, the knowledge to work safely and stay compliant.
- 11 specialist construction courses
- RoSPA-assured and CPD-accredited
- Designed to follow on from Health and Safety Fundamentals: Level 1
- Mapped to CDM, PUWER, LOLER, COSHH, and the Building Safety Act 2022
Our Construction eLearning training is accredited, assured and backed by our learning partners.
Health and safety for construction: what the law requires and how to meet it
Designed to fit around busy schedules. Accessible on any device.
Built for construction
The Get It Right Initiative estimates that errors and poor practice cost the UK construction sector between £10–25 billion every year. Every course in this bundle is built around the specific risks, regulations, and working conditions your people face on site. A site operative completing the PUWER module works through scenarios from a real working site.
Training records that hold up to HSE scrutiny
The HSE puts construction's fatal injury rate as 4.8 times the all-industry average. When they ask for evidence of training, your safety team has it without searching spreadsheets or chasing paper certificates. With our lms for construction, every learner gets a dated CPD completion record.
Covers every role on site
Health and safety obligations apply across your entire workforce. From the site operative completing a COSHH module to the project manager responsible for CDM compliance, every role gets the training the law requires of it. A PUWER course written for manufacturing looks nothing like one written for a construction site.
No classroom required
Every course in this bundle works on mobile, so a groundworker can complete a site safety module on site, a site manager can work through CDM responsibilities from the site office, and subcontractors can train before they arrive.
Short enough to fit a toolbox talk
Site work doesn't stop for training. Each course is short enough to complete during a toolbox talk, a team briefing, or a break between tasks. Scenarios are built around real site situations, so what people learn connects directly to the work they return to.
Updated when the regulations change
Construction legislation changes. The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new duties. CDM Regulations continue to be enforced. When the frameworks change, Access eLearning updates the courses, so your people are trained on what the law requires now.

Construction health and safety training for employees: see it in action
Access eLearning's construction eLearning courses are RoSPA-assured and built around the specific regulations and risks your people face on site.
Health and safety for construction: the regulations behind the courses
Construction sites are among the most heavily regulated workplaces in the UK. The HSE expects employers to demonstrate that training was in place, up to date, and appropriate for the roles involved. These courses map to the specific legislation that governs how construction organisations manage health and safety.
Legislation and frameworks covered:
- Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
- Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
- Building Safety Act 2022
- Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002
- Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998
- Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998
- Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016
- Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
- Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 2013
Built by people who know UK construction
These courses were written with specialists who have managed sites, conducted HSE inspections, and advised on CDM compliance. Not with subject matter experts who read the regulations and wrote to them from a desk.

What our customers say
"We work with colleagues across the organisation, from customer engagement, paralegal teams, support functions, and solicitors—everyone is incredibly busy with their day‑to‑day work. Expecting them to complete eLearning courses that take one to two hours isn’t always practical, so I’m focused on giving them time back wherever possible."
Our previous eLearning courses weren’t smart, and they were not enjoyable, so we had to spread them out. With Access the modules are shorter, sweeter, and interactive. Now we can ask our people to complete 3 or 4 modules in a day. And because they all have the same look and feel, it doesn’t feel like 3 or 4 separate learnings. It works a lot better and that’s how we’ve been able to change the way we run our inductions
Access Learning allows us to reinforce the statement to our employees that we have invested in them, as we now have access to a variety of engaging learning courses, which are readily available to support them with their training and career development opportunities – and it is really easy to use.
Your questions answered
What is construction health and safety training?
Construction health and safety training is online eLearning that gives site workers, supervisors, and managers the knowledge to work safely and within UK law. Access eLearning's construction courses are RoSPA-assured and CPD-accredited, mapped to the CDM Regulations 2015, Building Safety Act 2022, PUWER, LOLER, and COSHH, and built around the specific risks and working conditions your people face on site.
What health and safety training is required for construction workers in the UK?
UK construction employers must provide training covering the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, CDM Regulations 2015, COSHH Regulations 2002, PUWER 1998, LOLER 1998, and RIDDOR 2013.
Requirements vary by role: site operatives need induction and hazard-specific training; supervisors and managers carry additional CDM and permit-to-work responsibilities.
Employers must ensure training is appropriate to each role before work begins. For workers new to construction health and safety, the Health and Safety Fundamentals: Level 1 bundle covers the foundation before they progress to this specialist content.
Who needs construction health and safety training?
Every person working on or managing a UK construction site has health and safety training obligations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and CDM Regulations 2015. This includes site operatives, subcontractors, supervisors, project managers, and directors. Employers are responsible for ensuring everyone has training appropriate to their role before they start work.
How often should construction health and safety training be refreshed?
HSE guidance recommends refreshing health and safety training when regulations change, when roles change, or when a significant period has passed since the original training. Access eLearning reviews and updates construction courses as legislation and HSE guidance changes, so your people are trained on current requirements. RoSPA-assured courses are re-assured at least every two years.
Can construction health and safety training be done online?
Yes. Access eLearning's construction health and safety courses are delivered online and work on desktop and mobile, so site workers can complete training on location. They are video-based and designed for varying levels of digital confidence. Classroom delivery is also available where that suits your organisation better.
