Health & Safety Awareness (HSA) – CITB Site Safety Plus
1-day course | Classroom | Certificate valid 5 years
The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course (HSA) is the ideal introduction for anyone new to the construction industry. Designed for operatives and newcomers to site environments, this one-day course provides a practical overview of common hazards, personal responsibilities and safe working practices on today’s construction sites.
Delegates gain the essential understanding required to work safely, contribute positively to site safety culture and recognise when to seek guidance. The course also outlines an employer’s legal duties and explains what to do if a worker believes unsafe conditions or practices may put people at risk.
This page covers the Health and Safety Awareness Course only.
For delegates who require a CSCS Green Labourer Card, a separate option is available combining this course with the required CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Operatives Test. You can find those details here: CITB HSA Course with CSCS Test Package.
