Course Overview

Our CITB Health & Safety Awareness Course delivers a minimum of 6 hours of instruction and is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 20 delegates, providing training to aid the understanding of potential hazards the construction worker may face on site. It provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, identifying the delegate’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others; outlining the employer’s duties; and explaining what should be done if the worker thinks that anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.

The course is an ideal foundation for those wishing to obtain an industry accreditation card. Upon successful completion of this course each delegate will receive a CITB Construction Skills Certificate of Training. Certification for this course is valid for 5 years. Once completed, delegates are then able to apply for the CITB Health, Safety & Environment touch screen test. This will enable them to then apply for a CSCS Green Labourers Card.

This course consists of a virtual classroom, DVD presentation and written assessment.

This one day course is designed to help those who are about to work, or have just begun to work, in the industry to understand the potential hazards they face on site wishing to obtain an industry accreditation card.

Delegates must be competent in English at operative level. The course content is suited to all ability levels.

A natural progression from this course would be to attend the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS).

Assessment will be by an exam paper which consists of 25 multiple choice questions. There are 3 safety critical questions in each exam paper which delegates must answer correctly in order to pass the exam. The examination lasts for 30 minutes, where the last 10 minutes is open book.

Please note that the course price includes a same day resit should any of the safety critical questions be answered incorrectly.
