This very popular course is now required when applying for a Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Green Card (Labourer Card). These new requirements state, that along with the CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Test, a qualification (or alternative) MUST be achieved in order to apply for the Green Card. This course provides an excellent insight into the basics of Health and Safety.
1 day.
This course is for those who have entered, or are about to enter, the construction and civil engineering industry as a member of the workforce, to help them understand the potential hazards that they face at work on site.
There are no formal entry requirements and this course is suitable for all ability levels. Delegates must, however, have a good understanding of spoken and written English.
The course will include the following subjects:
Course delegates will receive a practical summary of health and safety, welfare and environmental issues identifying individual responsibilities for looking after themselves and others, what the employer’s duties are and what should be done if they think anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk. This course is also an alternative route to the QCF Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment for the CSCS Labourer Card.
A short, multiple choice examination on the day.
Successful delegates receive a nationally-recognised certificate from CITB, which expires after 5 years.
Please note: From 7th December 2020, the CITB are no longer sending out hard copy certificates for candidates. You will, therefore, receive your certificate by email, if you complete and pass the course.
OMS is a CITB Approved Training Organisation.
CITB funding and its automated grant process is available for this course.
