CITB HSA Remote Training Information

We will be delivering several courses during this lockdown to help upskill all workers who are still operating through the COVID-19 pandemic. We have provided all the information from CITB below of the new details and how this course will now be delivered.

Introduction

Site Safety emergency training provision is been implemented by CITB as a result of extraordinary circumstances, which is impacting the regular provision of training to the construction industry.  This has designed to maintain a level of training in the industry, ensuring a minimum level of understanding of Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) to aid the understanding of potential hazards the construction worker may face on site.

The Aims of the Scheme Rules:

·       To maintain a minimum level of health and safety awareness in the industry. 

·       To maintain a minimum level of health and safety awareness even during exceptional circumstances, such as force majeure events.

·       To maintain the workforce by enabling new starters to enter the industry with a minimum level of health and safety awareness.

·       To support training providers to continue to deliver high quality training despite extraordinary circumstances

     Course delivery/duration

·       The HSA course is a one-day remote course.

·       This course may be split into 2 x 3-hour sessions remote learning. These split sessions must be completed over 2 consecutive days. Delegates are required to complete the full course duration (6 hours of training + examination time) to be eligible for certification.
