WHAT DOES THIS SAFETY COORDINATOR LEVEL B TRAINING COVER?

After that, annual refresher training is required.
The level B certificate is sufficient for construction projects worth less than €3.4 million.
The classes take place live online. The morning session starts at 9am, the afternoon session at 1:30pm.
