The green ‘Labourer’ CSCS card is no longer in use, so anyone looking to renew their old style CSCS card now needs to take a course instead.
Anyone needing to renew their green CSCS card can take this course as a part of the renewal process.
The CITB Health & Safety Awareness course has been designed to provide delegates with a basic practical summary of health and safety, environmental and welfare issues. The course identifies individual responsibilities, what an employee’s duties are, what an employer’s duties are, and the steps that should be taken if someone feels that someone’s health and safety is being put at risk.
Who needs to attend the CITB Health & Safety Awareness training?
This course has been designed for individuals that have just entered the construction industry, as well as a refresher for employees that have been working in the industry for a longer period of time.
