The Digital College has announced that they now have several multi-language construction courses<\/a> available to cater to the modern construction industry<\/h2>\n

Courses, including Level 1 Award Health & Safety in a Construction Environment,<\/a> the CSCS Green Card package<\/a>, the Traffic Marshal course, and Manual Handling, are now available in multiple languages.<\/p>\n

Polish, Ukrainian, and Romanian are some of the languages offered in the new courses.<\/p>\n

According to ONS, in 2018, non-UK nationals accounted for 13% (109,000) of the construction of buildings sub-sector, 8% (80,000) of the specialised construction activities sub-sector and 7% (25,000) of the civil engineering sub-sector.<\/p>\n

Of the 165,000 EU migrant workers in the UK construction industry, 78% are from former Warsaw Pact countries, including Bulgaria, Poland, and Romania.<\/p>\n

The multi-language construction courses will help to make essential training more accessible<\/h3>\n

It is important that these workers\u00a0can not only access, but understand essential training.<\/a><\/p>\n

In particular, making Health and Safety qualifications understood is essential to the welfare of\u00a0everyone on-site.<\/p>\n

There were 59,000 non-fatal injuries in construction per year from 2019-2021<\/h3>\n

From 2019 to 2021, HSE reported that there were 59,000 non-fatal injuries<\/a> in the construction industry each year.<\/p>\n

Even more shockingly, there were an average of 36 fatal accidents.<\/p>\n

The Digital College\u2019s Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment is an accredited RQF certificate, and can now be studied independently or as part of the CSCS Green Card package, in Romanian, Ukrainian, and Polish.<\/p>\n

As construction demand rises, more non-UK workers are employed to help the skills shortage<\/h3>\n

After a slump during the Covid-19 pandemic, the construction industries in the UK are picking up again. With this growth comes more non-UK workers.<\/p>\n

Catering to workers who may not speak fluent English, is essential for keeping our workplaces compliant with regulation, welcoming, and safe.<\/p>\n

Fostering this understanding makes working in construction a better experience for all involved.<\/p>\n

The new courses will help to mitigate language barriers in the construction industry<\/h3>\n

The Digital College\u2019s Director of Learning and Development, Marty Jones, commented: \u201cThe construction industries in the UK are changing. More and more workers are of non-UK nationality, with the majority being from Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

“Working to mitigate any language barriers which might arise is invaluable. Our new language options in courses such as the CSCS Green Card package are a fantastic addition to the world of construction.\u201d<\/p>\n
