Health & Safety Awareness (CITB) - Site Safety Plus

Introduction

Designed to provide Health & Safety Awareness for all those working in construction, this 1 day course provides the elements required to achieve the safety element of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme registration certificate.

The course provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, helping the individual to understand potential hazards they may face on site, and identifying the individual’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others.

This course is an essential foundation for those wishing to obtain an industry accreditation card and a natural progression from this course would be to attend the Site Supervisor’s Safety Training Scheme or a Supervisor Specialist Skills course.

Who Should Attend

This course is aimed at individuals who are about to work, have just begun work within the industry or who may be experienced and need to formalise their training to pass the ‘touch screen test’.
