The GDPR for the Construction Industry course helps workers, supervisors, and managers understand their responsibilities for handling personal data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Construction projects often involve managing information about employees, contractors, clients, and site visitors, and this course explains how to collect, store, use, and share that data lawfully and securely.
Learners will explore key principles such as data minimisation, confidentiality, consent, and individuals’ rights. By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to protect personal information, prevent data breaches, and ensure their organisation remains compliant with UK data protection requirements.
