Our CITB Health & Safety Awareness eLearning Course provides delegates with a detailed understanding of potential hazards when working on construction sites, explores the common health, safety, welfare and environmental issues in construction, identifies the delegate’s responsibility for looking after themselves and others, outlines the employer’s legal duties, and explains what should be done if the worker thinks that anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.
This interactive eLearning course also delivers the foundational knowledge and prerequisite qualification required for individuals looking to obtain an industry accreditation (CSCS) card.
Upon purchase, delegates will receive a unique voucher code that will allow them access to their full eLearning course, including interactive online course materials, an online version of the construction health and safety awareness (GE707) publication, and an end-of-course invigilated examination delivered online by Kentec Training. Please note that the course price includes a same day resit in the event that delegates do not correctly answer a safety critical question. Delegates will have a maximum of 12 months to complete the course from the day of purchase.
