Training, Development & Education policy statement

Barr Construction understands that people are our most valuable resource, and we firmly believe that every member of the team has something positive to contribute to our business. That is why Barr has an extensive training programme in place for all employees.

We actively encourage individuals to pursue further professional or vocational qualifications and routinely organise seminars and workshops with other organisations on specialist topics.

Barr is particularly proud of our commitment to Health & Safety and our training programme ensures that all personnel have regular safety instruction. In addition, all senior project management and supervisory staff possess formal safety qualifications.
