Our CITB Health & Safety Awareness Course delivers a minimum of 6 hours of instruction and is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 20 delegates, providing training to aid the understanding of potential hazards the construction worker may face on site. It provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, identifying the delegate’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others; outlining the employer’s duties; and explaining what should be done if the worker thinks that anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.
