Construction Safety Officer (CSO)

In partnership with Safety Central

In recent years there is a trend for builders and contractors to pay more attention to safety-related matters than ever before. It is a fact that companies embracing safety preform better and have a higher retention percentage in their workforce.

A Construction Safety Officer ensures that the construction workers are following established policies and safety regulations. A CSO may take on additional roles and responsibilities, but their primary job is helping to create safer work sites. They develop, implement, and enforce policies that reduce the risk of accidents. The Safety Officer determines what policies are needed and how to enforce them.

Upon successful completion, students will receive a Construction Safety Officer certificate.
