What is it?

A plain-English A–Z Health & Safety Glossary for UK construction. It explains common site terms clearly (CDM, RAMS, COSHH, TG20/SG4, ALARP, permits, welfare, training, etc.) so supervisors, operatives and new starters can understand and brief fast, without wading through jargon.

Built for small builders, site managers and principal contractors who want consistent language, smoother inductions and smarter toolbox talks across every project.


Why You Need It:

1️⃣ Cut the jargon—boost understanding
Clear, short definitions make inductions, RAMS briefings and toolbox talks quicker and sharper.

2️⃣ Align teams & reduce mistakes
When everyone means the same thing by “permit,” “RAMS,” or “TG20,” you prevent crossed wires and rework.

3️⃣ Onboarding made easy
New starters get up to speed faster with a pocketable reference to site language and expectations.

4️⃣ Better evidence & audits
Consistent terminology improves RAMS quality, training records and inspection readiness.

5️⃣ Free, practical, ready to use
Drop it in your site folder, print sections, or link it in your digital H&S hub.
