CITB Health and Safety Awareness Course

This is a one day training course; the course usually takes around 7.5 hours to complete. The course’s short duration allows you to spend minimal time away from work and get qualified quickly.

The course is also available as an eLearning course that you can complete in your own time if that suits you better.

If you want to gain the CSCS Green Labourer Card to get on a construction site, you should attend this course. The course is highly interactive and is delivered through a range of group work, discussions and presentations; and is available to complete in a range of delivery formats.

If you are new to the construction and civil engineering sector, this course will give you all the foundation health and safety knowledge you will need to work safely on-site. With the knowledge that you gain, you will also prevent accidents through safer working practices.

To attend this course, you must read, write and understand English well.

The CITB’s scheme rules state that without understanding written and spoken English, you won’t be able to read safety signs or understand warnings from other workers. Anyone who is deemed unfit will be asked to leave the course.

We also require you to bring your Photographic ID and your national insurance number on the first day of the course.

To attend the Online Learning course:

You must have access to a computer or laptop that uses a microphone, webcam and has access to the internet. Without that, you would not be able to contribute to the course, or complete the final exam properly.

The HSA course is part of CITB’s Site Safety Plus (SSP) suite of courses. SSP is recognised nationwide as a provider of quality courses for people looking to develop themselves in the building, civil engineering, and allied industries.

After you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate, which is valid for five years. After that, you will need to complete the course again to requalify. Your certificate will arrive within 6-8 weeks.

After completing the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course, you will need to obtain your  Green Labourer CSCS card. To apply for the card, you need to have attended and passed this course and passed the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test. You can do this in either order, but we recommend doing the training course first as this will act as a revision for the touch screen test.

This course can be delivered in the classroom or as an Online / Remote course.

Public Classroom Courses

We provide classroom based CITB Health and Safety Awareness courses (also known as CITB HSA) in our training venues nationwide. The course is delivered in a traditional classroom environment with a trainer and up to 12 delegates.

We have multiple public dates plotted throughout the year, which means delegates can book for themselves or companies can book on behalf of their employees. You can book public classroom courses over the phone or online; you can find all of our upcoming CITB Health and Safety Awareness course dates here.

Remote Learning

Remote Health and Safety Awareness courses are delivered online via a virtual classroom using Zoom. This eliminates the need to travel to attend the course as the delegate can complete the course from home or the office, saving time and money.

Delegates join the course using the link provided. However, they will need a computer or laptop with a screen, camera, microphone and access to the internet to attend a CITB training course online.

The course is delivered by a live trainer who covers the same content as they would in a classroom environment; there will be up to 12 delegates who can see each other and interact via video or webchat. Delegates are provided with a downloadable digital copy of the coursebook, and the final exam is completed online.

Like the classroom format, we have multiple public remote learning dates where it’s possible to book one or multiple spaces; the remote Health and Safety Awareness course is available to book online or over the phone.

In-house Courses

We can also arrange for the CITB Health and Safety Awareness to be delivered as an in-house course specifically for your delegates.  We can deliver this course via remote learning at one of our venues or a venue of your choosing.

In-house training is a popular option for larger clients as it can be delivered on-site, and delegates can interact and discuss company-specific examples during the training. There must be a minimum of 4 delegates and no more than 12 delegates.

These courses are priced on a case by case basis depending on the location, delivery method and the number of delegates.  Complete the in house training enquiry form on this page, and one of the team will be in touch to provide you with a quote.
