Module 13: Measures of Fire Safety
This module explains proactive fire safety measures within construction environments. Learners explore fire prevention planning, equipment provision, signage, and construction-specific risk controls aligned with site safety management.

Module 14: Fire Emergency: Evacuation Procedures
Learners focus on emergency response planning for construction site fires. The module covers alarm systems, evacuation routes, assembly points, and worker responsibilities during site emergencies.

Module 15: The Fire Plan and Safety Arrangements
This module examines how fire plans are developed for construction projects. Learners understand roles, coordination, and integration of fire safety within overall site safety management systems.

Module 16: Manual Handling Hazards and Injuries
Learners explore manual handling risks common in construction work. The module explains lifting injuries, musculoskeletal disorders, and how poor handling practices impact long-term worker health.

Module 17: Manual Handling Risk Control
This module focuses on reducing manual handling risks through planning and design. Learners apply the hierarchy of control, including task redesign, mechanical aids, and construction-specific risk controls.

Module 18: Safe Lifting Techniques
Learners study correct lifting techniques suitable for construction materials and equipment. The module reinforces posture, load assessment, and PPE limitations when controlling lifting injuries on site.

Module 19: Display Screen Equipment (DSE) and Office Safety
This module covers DSE risks affecting site offices and construction management roles. Learners understand ergonomic controls, workstation setup, and integrating office safety within wider construction environments.

Module 20: Working at Height
Learners explore hazards associated with working at height in construction. The module references Working at Height Regulations awareness and focuses on fall prevention planning and safe access arrangements.

Module 21: Work at Height Equipment
This module examines ladders, scaffolds, and mobile access equipment used on construction sites. Learners assess suitability, inspection requirements, and limitations to ensure construction-specific risk controls remain effective.

Module 22: Working in Confined Spaces and the Law
Learners study legal responsibilities associated with confined spaces in construction. The module explains high-risk construction work scenarios, hazard identification, and compliance awareness to prevent serious incidents.

Module 23: Control Measures for Working in Confined Spaces
This module focuses on implementing safe systems of work for confined spaces. Learners explore ventilation, monitoring, permits, and emergency arrangements to control site-specific hazards.

Module 24: Emergency Procedures for Working in Confined Spaces
Learners examine rescue planning and response for confined space site emergencies. The module emphasises coordination, equipment readiness, and preventing secondary casualties during construction incidents.

Module 25: Health Problems Related to Hazardous Substances
This module explores illnesses linked to chemical exposure in construction. Learners understand effects of dust and fumes, solvents, and long-term exposure risks affecting worker health.

Module 26: Identifying Hazardous Substances
Learners focus on recognising hazardous substances present on construction sites. The module supports COSHH awareness by examining labels, safety data sheets, and routes of exposure.

Module 27: Control Measures and Monitoring
This module explains how COSHH Regulations are applied in construction environments. Learners explore monitoring methods, PPE use, and limitations when controlling chemical exposure risks.

Module 28: Implementation of Control Measures
Learners study practical application of control measures on site. The module reinforces training, supervision, and site inspections to ensure controls remain effective and up to date.
