The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course is a one-day training course for new entrants and existing workers. This course is suitable for anyone wishing to undertake work on a construction site. It is not aimed at those with managerial responsibilities. It teaches you the main health and safety issues on construction sites and how these affect your role.
This course is a pre-requisite to obtaining your CSCS card. To obtain the CSCS Labourer Card (known as Green Card) you need to attend and pass both the CITB Health and Safety Awareness Course and touchscreen CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test.
Successful delegates will gain knowledge and skills in:
· Typical construction hazards and how these are controlled

· Legal requirements and liabilities
· Working at height
· Manual handling
· Fire prevention
· Work equipment
· Occupational health
This is a highly interactive course delivered by means of case studies, classroom discussion, group work and individual/group presentations. Delegates will be continuously assessed and will have to successfully complete a multiple-choice test.
Upon successful completion Delegates will be awarded the CITB Health and Safety Awareness Certificate in a pdf format which is valid for five years.
NOTE: To complete this course Delegates must be able to read and understand English to a good standard.
