Share this course with friends and followers on social media.
Our CITB Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course is a one-day classroom course for anyone new to construction or preparing to work on site for the first time. It gives you a clear introduction to site hazards, your own responsibilities, safe working practices and the basic legal requirements for working safely in a construction environment.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for site operatives, new starters, labourers and anyone moving into construction from another sector. There are no formal entry requirements.
What You Will Learn
- Health and safety law as it applies to construction
- Identifying and controlling common site hazards
- Your responsibilities as an operative on site
- Safe working practices and site rules
- Reporting accidents, near misses and unsafe conditions
Certification
Successful delegates receive a CITB Health and Safety Awareness certificate, which is valid for five years. The course is recognised for the CSCS Green Labourer Card, though the card application also requires the CITB Health, Safety and Environment operatives test. If you need the test as part of your booking, our HSA with CSCS Test package covers both.
Delivery Method
Classroom delivery at our training centre: The Acorn Centre, 29 Roebuck Road, Hainault, Essex, IG6 3TU. Course runs 9:00am to 4:30pm. We also offer in-house delivery at your own premises for group bookings.
