One day.

Weekday courses commence at 8.30am.

Our CITB Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) training courses are delivered at our training centre in Maidstone, Kent. We can also deliver private training sessions at your preferred location. Please get in touch with our team to find out more.

This one-day introductory course is for people who are considering or have just started working in the construction and civil engineering industries. Delegates must be competent in English at an operative level.

This one-day course is part of the CITB Site Safety Plus scheme (Site Safety Plus Level 1). Delegates will learn about the potential hazards they can face on construction sites. They will also be able to identify their responsibilities for looking after themselves and others, and why they need to carry out such duties. They will learn how to prevent accidents, understand health and safety law, risk assessments and method statements.

The course also highlights the importance of reporting unsafe acts to prevent accidents in the workplace.

Topics covered include:

• General Health and Safety Responsibilities.
• Health & Welfare.
• Work at Height.
• Manual Handling.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Handheld Equipment & Tools.
• Site Transport Safety.
• Accident Prevention Reporting.
• Noise & Vibration.
• Hazardous Substances.
• Electrical Safety.
• Emergency Procedures & First Aid.
• Environmental awareness, pollution and waste management.
• Fire prevention and control.
• Confined spaces.

At the end of the course, delegates will need to complete a multiple-choice questionnaire in 30 minutes.

On successful completion of the multiple-choice questionnaire, a renewable, five-year CITB Site Safety Plus (Construction Site Operatives Safety) certificate will be awarded. To renew the certificate and keep your certification up to date, you will need to retake the HSA Training course.

Once delegates have received their certificate; they will be able to apply for a CSCS Labourer Card.

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