The course provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, ensuring individuals understand the potential hazards they may face on site, whilst identifying the individual’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others.
The training highlights legal rights and responsibilities under the Health & Safety at Work Act, as well as tackling other general site issues. These include considerations for both work at height and in the ground, fire, COSHH, noise, vibration, asbestos and some basic documentation requirements, including risk assessments, method statements and inductions. A natural progression from this course would be to attend the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS).
Delegates will be provided with the GE707 – Safe Start publication from the CITB.
This is a 1 day course.
