Gain Essential Leadership Skills for Managing Safety on Site

The ECITB CCNSG Leading a Team Safely (LATS) course is an advanced training program tailored for supervisors and team leaders in the engineering and construction industries. This course focuses on equipping leaders with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage health and safety within their teams. It covers essential topics such as leadership principles, communication strategies, risk management, and fostering a safety-conscious culture. Upon completion, participants are better prepared to lead by example, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and promote a safe working environment on site.

What is the ECITB?

The ECITB stands for the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board. It’s a non-departmental public body in the UK responsible for supporting skills development and workforce training within the engineering construction industry. Funded by a statutory levy on employers in the sector, the ECITB provides nationally recognised qualifications, course standards, and funding support to ensure a safe, skilled, and productive workforce across major infrastructure projects.

The ECITB is best known for managing industry-critical training schemes such as the CCNSG Safety Passport, Renewal and Leading a Team Safely, and various technical and supervisory qualifications. Whether you're a contractor, supervisor, or site manager, ECITB-approved courses help you meet employer and site requirements while demonstrating commitment to health, safety, and competence. By working closely with employers, training providers, and government, the ECITB plays a vital role in maintaining standards across the UK’s high-risk engineering environments.
