Construction students from NULC were invited for a site visit by Barratt’s. Five students studying Level 3 in Construction and the Built Environment visited the Barratt’s construction site in Silverdale on Thursday 2 February.

The purpose of the visit was to help the students to provide evidence for their Health and Safety assignments as part of their course work. As part of the Health and Safety assignment, students have to carry out risk assessments and investigate an accident scenario to determine what to do in the event of an accident, who it should be reported to and investigate the causes of an accident on a construction site, who was at fault and what could be done to prevent it happening again.
During the visit the students got the opportunity to carry out Risk Assessments and Accident Investigation on a real operational construction site.

Mark Turner, Construction Team Leader said: “The visit was extremely beneficial to the students. They were able to view real life hazards on a construction site and include this in their assignments.”
He continued: “The students were really surprised at how Health & Safety plays such a big part in the general day to day running of a construction site and the amount of working drawings that are required.”

Sounds like some important training. Safety situations often require swift action, but it sounds like these students know what to do in case of emergency!
