In 2002 it celebrated 50 years of remarkable achievement and sustained success in the field of accident prevention, having established itself as one of the premier safety groups and main providers of construction safety training in the country. It has a reputation for the delivery of first class training, where customer care and efficient, effective service is a priority.

It is universally acknowledged that CHSG, after 50 years of practice, is very good at what it does best – providing affordable safety training for the construction industry using a team of lecturers currently active in the industry.

Its principal aims and objectives are the same today as they were when CHSG was formed in 1952:
(a) to improve occupational health in the industry;
(b) to foster co-operation between government, employers and those who work in the construction industry;
(c) to study the health and safety training needs of the industry;
(d) to provide training in response to the identified need.

CHSG, now a company limited by guarantee, with charitable status, has a membership in excess of 500. Senior safety professionals from member organisations are elected to form the management board which meets bi-monthly, and the day-to-day operations of the Group are controlled by a small dedicated staff led by the General Manager.

Training is provided in a relaxed atmosphere at our training centre, which is ideally located in Chertsey, Surrey with easy access to road, rail and airport links. The three lecture rooms are air-conditioned, comfortable and equipped with the most modern audio-visual equipment. The centre also houses the Group's administrative offices and staff.

The range of safety training courses is extremely comprehensive covering a wide range of construction related subjects but many of the courses are suitable for industry and commerce generally. For a complete schedule of courses for 2007 please click here.
