Health and Safety Awareness Course (CITB)

The Health & Safety Awareness (HSA) Level 1 (CITB: Site Safety Plus) course is for you if you’re considering, or already, working within the construction and civil engineering industry.

This CITB Site Safety Plus Level 1 course highlights potential hazards when working on site and provides practical advice on keeping yourself and your colleagues safe. It covers your individual and employer’s responsibilities, including what you can do if you think anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.

The course provides health and safety awareness and is endorsed by Build UK as standard training for all operatives on site. At the end of the course you will have an understanding of the need to prevent accidents, health and safety law, how your role fits into the control and management of the site, risk assessments and method statements, performing safely and asking for advice and how to report unsafe acts to prevent an accident.

Successful completion of CITB: Site Site Safety Plus (Health and Safety Awareness Level 1) course can be used as a prerequisite for the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB): Operative, health, safety and environment touch screen test or just as repeat refresher training.

The course is the first step towards a CSCS Labourers Card (Green Card) and to the progressive CITB Site Safety Plus courses that range from operative training, up to Supervisor, Site Manager and Director Health and Safety courses.
