The Copper Connection Podcast – Season 2, Episode 50, Construction Health and Safety for Plumbing Students UK: Regulations, Site Safety and Exam Revision Guide

Construction is one of the highest-risk industries in the UK — this episode breaks down health and safety for plumbing in construction in a way that actually makes sense for plumbing students, Electrical Student and construction apprentices, and trade learners. If you’re revising for a technical qualification or heading onto site, this is your clear, practical guide to staying safe and working professionally.

In this student takeover episode of The Copper Connection Podcast, Chris Bailey (Plumbing Tutor & Industry Mentor) covers the essentials: hazards vs risks, working at height, manual handling, and the real purpose behind the rules that protect your health, your job, and your future in the trade. We also simplify key regulations and systems including COSHH, RIDDOR, permit-to-work, safe systems of work, PPE, housekeeping, and reporting hazards—without the waffle.
