This course is suitable for anyone who needs to enter or work on a building or construction site, including labourers, apprentices, contractors, tradespeople, subcontractors, site visitors, engineers and project managers.

Many principal contractors make Construction Site Access training a site entry requirement. Completing NZQA Unit Standard 21209 demonstrates that workers have the foundational health and safety knowledge required to work safely on New Zealand construction sites.
