Health & Safety Awareness (HSA) – CITB Site Safety Plus
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.
