CITB Site Safety Plus 1 Day (Health & Safety Awareness) Training Course

The CITB Site Safety Plus 1-Day Health & Safety Awareness course is designed for those who have entered, or are about to enter the construction and civil engineering industry as a member of the work force, to help them understand the potential hazards that they face at work on site. Topics covered include both health and safety hazards, risk assessments, regulations, work at height, fire safety, COSHH and manual handling.

This qualification is often the preferred route for those candidates wishing to gain a Green / Labourer Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card.

Assessment will be by an end of course examination. The delegate must pass the exam in order to achieve certification for this course. We suggest you share this information with the delegates at the beginning of the day. The examination paper forms the basis of the assessment as to whether or not a delegate has successfully achieved a satisfactory level of health and safety awareness to allow a certificate of achievement to be issued.

The question paper consists of 25 multiple-choice questions: 20 questions are worth one mark each and 5 questions are worth two marks each. The delegates must obtain 25 marks out of 30 (83%) or more in order to pass the examination. This exam must be taken at the end of the course. The examination paper number will be notified when the course booking is accepted by CITB. For a delegate to obtain certification for this course they must pass the HSA examination. The examination lasts 30 minutes and must be completed within this time. This is a closed book exam.

Upon completion of this course the candidate will need to undertake the CITB "touch screen" Health, Safety & Environment test before applying to gain a CSCS card.

Please note: all delegates are required to produce photographic identification when attending all CITB courses. Suitable forms of identification are a valid passport, driving license (including provisional) or UK cards. Delegates under the age of 16 will need to complete a 'parental consent form' prior to attandance.
